Summary
In the presence of Edgar Dewdney Indian Commissioner in the North-west Territories, Lucky Man and Little Pine agreed to the terms of Treaty 6. The written Treaty 6 document provided signatories with reserves for farming, annual annuities, annual chief salaries, farming implements, education, hunting, fishing and trapping rights, and aid (most notably in times of famine or epidemic), in exchange for a cession of community land rights.
