The Idea To understand what it means to be a Treaty person, it is important to understand what is treaty. To build upon this idea, we developed an historical board game to serve as an entry point for people to begin to learn and experience how Treaty is understood from an Indigenous perspective. The aim is to inspire people to consider what they can do to walk together better on this land as a Treaty 6 person and understand the obligations we have living on Treaty land. Tried and True There will be multiple copies of the board game prototype (including the debriefing guide) created to give to a diverse group of people (e.g. Sleepy Middle, families, educators, Indigenous communities) to play-test and provide feedback. This will provide us the opportunity to learn and reflect on how the board game engages with people and what areas we can further refine.
