Several Canadian postsecondary institutions took part in the 10th anniversary renewal of the Buffalo Treaty, which was hosted by the Blood Tribe and the International Buffalo Relations Institute. CTV News explains that the treaty—which now involves over 40 different Indigenous nations—focuses on preserving the bison ways through conservation, culture, and education. Lethbridge Polytechnic, Red Crow College, and the University of Lethbridge helped host parts of the 10th Anniversary gathering, where Mount Royal University joined as one of the new signatories. By signing this treaty, MRU is committing to supporting the reintroduction of buffalo herds, protecting natural habitats, and promoting sustainable management. The treaty also strengthens ties between the university and with Indigenous communities.
