Native families under Treaty 6 got this... Each Native family of five covered by Treaty 6 received 4.45 square miles of land (128 acres per person), which they could sell back to the Government of Canada for compensation. Each person immediately received $12 and an additional $5 a year. The chief would receive one horse, one harness, and one wagon or two carts. The people would also receive $1500 a year for ammunition and fishing net twine. One of the selling points of the treaty was that a medicine chest would be kept at the home of the Indian Agent for use by the people. Another of the selling points was the guarantee of assistance for famine or pestilence relief. One of the famous chiefs who signed this treaty was Poundmaker. en.wikipedia.org
