“…In an age where Indigenous nations are searching for, and engaging with, alternative political formations and methodologies, beyond the exclusionary frameworks located in colonial law and policy, as well as in the zero-sum politics of Indigenous nationalisms, the Buffalo Treaty is an important political alternative for "imagining otherwise" in order to "act otherwise." 43 Throughout, we have demonstrated this justification in the ways the Buffalo Treaty serves as a centrifugal force for generating relationships in service of restoring Indigenous life and politics on the prairies. This is what makes the Buffalo Treaty incredibly important: it is the first time in hundreds of years where Indigenous nations have come together to create a multi-nation non-settler Indigenous political institution.…”

This study examines the development and implications of the international Buffalo Treaty, the first inter-Indigenous treaty of its kind in over 200 years. The research brings together scholars from different plains Indigenous peoples to learn from and share with renowned Blackfoot scholar and Buffalo Treaty Emissary Dr. Leroy Little Bear. The research details the movement to bring Indigenous nations on either side of the 49th parallel together in common cause to return buffalo to Indigenous landscapes and territories, a task necessitated by the buffalo genocide in the 19th century. In addition, we argue that the Buffalo Treaty is part of a much larger effort to reinvigorate Indigenous modes of relating between people, non-human animals, and lands and waters. We draw from Dr. Little Bear to enunciate meaning of buffalo consciousness , and show how the Buffalo Treaty movement was transformed from an originally Blackfoot-driven initiative into an Indigenous international treaty between multiple peoples and the buffalo. By learning from the buffalo in their role as a keystone species, we are able develop new orientations to improving relationships among Indigenous peoples and non-human relations. The work concludes with new interventions on using treaty making to decolonize Indigenous peoples' modes of governance in service of facilitating the resurgence of relational forms of politics.

Still hiding in plain sight?: Historiography and Métis archival memory

This paper examines how the practices of professional and non‐professional historians helped to create a particular vision of the Métis past. It suggests that the archives that scholars have generally relied upon to craft their histories have overdetermined the form and content of Métis histories and have created a truncated view of Métis history that ends abruptly in the late 19th century. While this failure to address 20th‐century Métis history is rooted, in part, in the history of dispossession and economic marginalization and Métis experiences with Canadian colonialism, it also emerges from the tendency within the historical profession to overlook Métis historical labor and the histories produced outside the academy. The resulting void in the scholarly literature regarding the daily lives and the networks of social relations that have sustained Métis communities in the 20th century have severed Métis history from the intellectual and cultural life of present‐day Métis communities.
