Treaty 4: The Next Generation Project / La prochaine génération

Treaty 4: The next generation project (also known as Treaty4Project) is an educational project that allows students to explore the idea of treaty citizenship to better understand the role of their generation in Treaty 4 territory (Saskatchewan) today and in the future. It is our hope this project will reinforce inclusive viewpoints about Saskatchewan’s history and promote the development of student ideas and actions of what treaty citizenship could be.

Do Indigenous people have rights to mine? Exploring TEK of minerals in historic and legal contexts (Dr. Andrew Miller)

Indigenous people of North America have over 10,000 years of mining, skillfully producing cultural objects and trading minerals.  In this presentation, Dr. Miller will present an overview of the diverse ways in which Indigenous people from across North America have related to minerals.  This will be followed by a discussion of Aboriginal law and rights which suggest Indigenous peoples may have as yet ill-defined rights to express their knowledge and values for minerals through engagement in development planning. 

Biography: Although originally from the northeastern United States, Dr. Andrew Miller has lived on the Canadian prairies since 2005.  Since 1998 Dr. Miller has worked with Indigenous traditional knowledge holders in northern Mexico, Ontario, Saskatchewan, Alberta and the Northwest Territories on ethnoecology - the study of Indigenous peoples’ knowledge and relationships to their environments.  Dr. Miller teaches for the Department of Indigenous Languages, Arts and Culture at First Nations University of Canada.

Est-ce que les peuples Premières Nations ont des droits miniers ? 
Depuis 10 000 ans, les peuples Premières Nations en Amérique du Nord ont établi une culture d’échange des produits miniers.  Dans cette présentation Dr. Miller vous parlera de la pratique traditionnelle reliée à l’échange des produits miniers.  Cette présentation sera suivie d’une discussion sur les lois autochtones et leurs droits de réclamer une participation active dans la planification et la gestion des ressources minières.


Biographie : Originaire du Nord East des Etats-Unis, Dr. Andrew Miller habite dans les Prairies Canadiennes depuis 2005.  Spécialiste de l’étude des connaissances autochtones et des relations avec leurs environnements (ethnoecologie), Dr. Miller enseigne à l’Université des Premières Nations du Canada
