Treaties Day Beaded Runner
Treaties Day at the Manitoba legislative assembly was developed in partnership between Manitoba Aboriginal and Northern Affairs, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, the Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba and Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC). The purpose of this event was to honour and raise awareness of Treaties and their importance in the creation of Canada and later, Manitoba.
Provincial representatives welcomed First Nations Chiefs, the Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba, the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs and Indian and Northern Affairs Canada to the Manitoba Legislative Chamber to recognize together the significance of Treaties with a Treaty proclamation, exchange of gifts and presentations, including a Treaty Advocacy Award to honour the late Minister of Aboriginal and Northern Affairs Oscar Lathlin and a beaded table runner and mace pillow to the chamber.
