What is your understanding of citizenship? How can we relate Treaty Education to citizenship?

In my opinion, citizenship is the status of a person recognized by tradition Citizenship is the connection that exists between an individual and a state to which the individual pays loyalty. It also entails the status of freedom, as well as attendant responsibilities. Political rights, including the right to vote.

In terms of Treaty Education, I believe it is our job as citizens to learn about our past and how it affects our future, which includes talking about residential schools and treaties. I also believe that we need to recgonize treaties.
