Description: This layer represents the Treaty Boundary boundary outline comprised of all the polygons that represent the historical treaty lands of Canada negotiated by First Nations over the years through treaty-making between 1867 - 1999. The approximate boundaries illustrate the traditional territories described in First Nations Statements of Intent to negotiate treaties which have been submitted to, and accepted.
The Treaty Boundary dataset provides users with GIS ready, but highly generalized, polygonal representation of all Treaty areas in the province of Alberta. The boundaries are suitable for indexing purposes, but are not suitable for detailed analysis purposes.
This layer is not visible out beyond 1:216,671.
