The Yellowhead Institute Treaty Map is an accessible resource for teaching and learning about Indigenous perspectives on treaties in Canada. With treaty descriptions of every Canadian treaty since 1763, the Map provides a wealth of opportunity for users to engage with the various perspectives, nuances, and disputes that make up the lived realities of treaties in a colonial present. That said, it can be difficult to know where to start. This education guide equips educators and students with tools to make the most of the map, with learning resources and example teaching exercises. The activities in this guide are designed to centre Indigenous perspectives on treaties and on the broader historical and contemporary context on the Indigenous-state relationship.
