Question: Which Treaty number covers much of the Prairies?

Answer options:

• Treaty 4 ✅ Treaty 6
• Treaty 7
• Treaty 11

Correct answer: Treaty 6

Explanation: Treaty 6 is correct because it covers a massive, central swath of the Canadian Prairies across present-day Alberta and Saskatchewan. While Treaties 4 and 7 also cover parts of the Prairies, they encompass much smaller southern sections, and Treaty 11 lies far to the north in the Northwest Territories. Under the official framework, the Canadian government signed eleven Numbered Treaties between 1871 and 1921 to facilitate agricultural settlement and railway construction. Understanding these historical agreements and their geographical footprints is highly relevant for the exam, as questions frequently test knowledge of foundational agreements between the Crown and Indigenous peoples.
