"I had to know about Treaty. I had to know about the Indian Act. I didn't have a choice."

- Shauneen Pete

"I learned about Treaty by not having to learn about Treaty... The absence of the treaty narrative meant that I could fill it in with colonial story." - Mike Cappello

"How are we living out our treaty relationships? We all have work to do. Study. Learn. Build personal relationships" - Mike Cappello

"When our hearts change, so will our relationships. Only then will we be able to work towards reconciliation." - Mike Cappello

Is responsive action the same as rebellion? Shauneen Pete and Mike Cappello ask us to question our actions surrounding treaties
