A small but monumental piece to the Atimiskakewak 2018 National Gathering was the daily Treaty Walks that began at Moose Jaw's Public Library. 

Students and a teacher from a school in Fort Qu'Appelle were brought in to host multiple events.

"We're doing three things here in Moose Jaw," explained teacher Sheena Koops. "We're visiting schools to talk about who we are as people, we're doing a blanket exercise and we're also trying out this Treaty Walk-Moose Jaw edition."

She said it's important to honour our history and know that Treaties apply to everyone. 

"Treaties are essential to who we are as Canadians, but we've erased and paved over that history just like bricks on a street. My hope is that we would take seriously our Treaty responsibilities because most of the promises made to the Indigenous peoples have been broken. Indigenous peoples have been holding the vision of Treaty for us, kind of like Treaty knowledge Keepers," said Koops.

One attendee said he joined to learn more and was able to discover that Treaties apply to everyone who lives here. 

"It is true, we are all Treaty people because Saskatchewan has a bunch of Treaty numbers that makes up the province today," said Gilles Laberge.

Participants were given papers and followed along the lesson making stops at various locations within Crescent Park and around the area. 

"Whether you are First Nations or non-First Nations, you are a Treaty person. It took more than one race to make the Treaties and that's what makes you a Treaty person. The Treaties were made to benefit both sides." -Justin Schill, a Grade 10 student in Fort Qu'Appelle.
