About Treaties
A Treaty is a formal agreement between two parties. The Numbered Treaties, which cover all of Manitoba, are formal agreements that created a relationship between the Crown and First Nations. As a result, each party has certain expectations and obligations, both explicit and implicit. The Numbered Treaties provided First Nations with annuities, education, reserves and protection of their traditional economies, while the Crown acquired the means to open up territories, including modern day Manitoba, for settlement and agricultural and resource development.

Treaty No. 10
The majority of the Treaty no. 10 area exists within Saskatchewan. Negotiated and signed in August 1906, the Treaty covers the First Nation communities within Manitoba known as Barren Land and the Northlands.
As of yet, no Manitoban communities are a part of this far northern region of Manitoba, however, Manitoban still benefit from the Treaty due to Canadian economic development and resource extraction in the area.
