Treaty 7 was signed at Blackfoot Crossing in 1877.

This agreement is one of many treaties negotiated between First Nations and the British Crown. Many scholars have looked at Canadian treaties and education history as an overt attempt to erase Indigenous culture, but few have delved deeper into the systematic policies of epistemicide that took place within these negotiations and afterward. This thesis situates this historical process within the communities of Treaty 7 territory and argues that the schooling provided by the Canadian government after 1877 represents a consistent attempt to subvert Indigenous knowledge and pedagogies. |
