During the Federation of Sovereign Indigenous Nations Assembly this past week, Treaty Commissioner of Saskatchewan, Mary Culbertson, presented for the last time in her home territory of Treaty 4.

It was an emotional event, as the Treaty Commissioner was honoured for all her hard work over the past five years. She was in her home tribal council area, surrounded by many relatives, friends, and neighbours as she was honoured with a star blanket.

During the Treaty Commissioner’s final report she spoke about the mandate of the office, what has been completed, and what is still ahead.

“It has been an honour to serve,” she said.
