Bill 54 Statement of Solidarity with First Nations and Their Treaty Rights
May 15, 2025 First Nations leaders from Treaties No. 6, 7, and 8 are holding a peaceful demonstration tomorrow at the Alberta Legislature to oppose the separatist agenda being promoted by the premier of Alberta.
WHEN: Thursday, May 15, 2025, starting at 2:30 p.m.
WHERE: Alberta Legislature Building, 9820 – 107 Street NW, Edmonton, Alberta, T5K 2B6.
The Chiefs and other speakers are opposed to Bill 54, Election Statutes Amendment Act, 2025, which has made it far easier to hold a referendum on separation. The grounds of the Alberta Legislature hold great significance as it was here, in 1877, that several First Nations signed an adhesion to Treaty 6.
Please join the Chiefs and show your respect for their Treaty rights!

Alberta Bill 18, known as the Provincial Priorities Act, 2024, is a legislative proposal that mandates provincial oversight and approval of any contractual or collaborative agreements between provincial entities and the federal government. This includes a broad range of institutions and bodies within the province, including universities and colleges. The bill allows provincial politicians and bureaucrats a veto over whether Albertans can accept their own tax dollars back from Ottawa.
