Treaty 6 adhesion at Fort Edmonton
Chief Papaschase, his brother Tahkoots and other chiefs and headmen of the Fort Edmonton district signed an adhesion to Treaty 6 at Fort Edmonton, a year after the treaty's first signing at Fort Carlton — bringing the Edmonton-area bands, ancestors of today's Enoch, Alexander, Alexis and Paul First Nations, into the treaty.

Compiled from Wikidata, whose data is released under CC0. Every entry links its Wikipedia article so you can check it. Nothing here is written by AI — each line is the label, description and date Wikidata holds, in a fixed format. That also means the coverage is Wikidata's: it leans heavily towards people with Wikipedia articles, and towards hockey. Alberta history is much larger than this page, which is why most days have no recorded event to lead with and the page says so rather than filling the space. Where a day opens with a highlighted entry above the timeline, that is a curated item: written, sourced to the page it links, and approved before it appeared here.
