We Are All Treaty People Play

The Confluence is excited to partner with Quest Theatre and offer public performances of the play “We Are All Treaty People”.

About The Play

“We Are All Treaty People,” follows the story of a Trickster who meets two young girls: one of Aboriginal descent, and one of colonial descent. As the girls question whether they can be friends, the Trickster recounts the story of Treaty 7, including the context of its signing, the promises made and broken, and the ongoing challenges we face today. While sensitive topics such as negative racial references, the whiskey trade, and residential schools are addressed, the narrative is conveyed through song, prayer, creative movement, and puppets, aiming to heal and foster understanding.

Snacks and pop are available for purchase via vending machine.

This event is being offered as part of an event series The Confluence is hosting to commemorate 150 years since the North-West Mounted Police (NWMP) first arrived at the confluence of the Bow and Elbow Rivers and established Fort Calgary in 1875. The Confluence is taking a reflective approach in sharing the stories that make the site so significant. Find the full event line-up at theconfluence.ca/150
