Treaty Education in schools is still lacking importance as it a touchy subject for many, which causes conflict and trauma when taught. Personally in my schools growing up treaty education was very important as I grew up in a school system that contains many indigenous schools. A big step in working toward reconciliation is making treaty education mandatory as well as a year long discussion. What treaty education talks about is the past of the indigenous culture and eductates students who have little to no information on the culture. Treaty education also includes intergenerational trauma and how this still effects the indigenous culture today , which can be a tough conversation for many students. Treaty education also teaches the ways and doing of indigenous and how they survived and created many of todays technologies. With educating the students on this topic they are brought into the indigenous culture and going against discrimination. 

The term we are all treaty people is based through the education and how it is being taught and discussed. We are all treaty people can be educated to students through treaty education and understanding the ways of the indigenous culture and making connections to them. When educating students into being a treaty person we should encourage indigenous speakers in our classrooms and taking trips to indigenous landmarks. Being able to say we are all treaty people we understand we all have rights and respect the indigenous culture as well as understanding why treaties were created to work toward reconciliation.
