Recorded: 2025-09-10
Qualifies for 2.0 CPD hours, all of which qualify for Ethics.

Treaties are formal, legally binding agreements between sovereign nations. Among First Nations, treaty-making has long served as a means to establish inter-tribal alliances, promote peace and friendship, and ensure safe passage. This interactive simulation invites participants to experience the arrival of ‘Country X’ in their community, prompting reflection on the historical and contemporary impacts of treaty-making.

Traditional Knowledge Keeper Lyndon J. Linklater leads this treaty simulation, which encourages participants to explore the perspectives of Indigenous peoples during historical treaty negotiations and deepens understanding of treaty relationships. Lyndon draws on over 20 years of experience educating diverse audiences—including lawyers, judges, and government officials—on Treaty relationships, Indigenous worldviews, and the path to reconciliation.
