Current Exhibit
Numbered Treaties in Canada
On display until June 26, 2026
In recognition of National Indigenous History Month, Jubilee Gallery is featuring a series of posters and maps that depict the Numbered Treaties in Canada. These posters, produced by Indigenous Reflections Inc., help teach about the treaties of Canada, where they were signed and how it has effected the past, present and future of Indigenous Peoples.
The Numbered Treaties are a series of eleven treaties signed between the Indigenous people in Canada and the reigning monarch of Canada. The reigning monarchs of Canada at the time of these treaties were Queen Victoria, King Edward VII and King George V from the years 1871 to 1921. With these signed agreements, the Canadian Government was able to pursue settlement and acquire resources in the affected regions, which include modern-day Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories. Canada gained large amounts of land in exchange for promises to the Aboriginal people. Each of the eleven signed treaties were individually negotiated and therefore, specific terms differed. The Aboriginal people signed the treaties as agreements to live together in peace and harmony.
