I am Cree and Nakota, from the Little Black Bear First Nation in Saskatchewan. Like most of you, I am also a Treaty person. Treaty 4 territory is a place of incredible beauty. The Qu'Appelle River - the kah-tep-was in Cree - has cut deeply into the earth as it winds among grassy hills. In Cree tradition, all the creatures who walk, crawl, swim or fly over this land are our relations.
