Treaty road is a journey, both personal and communal, as two friends travel the old roads to uncover the truth about the signing of the numbered treaties, and ultimately themselves.

While exploring his Métis ancestry, writer/director Saxon de Cocq discovered that his great grandfather (x3) was the Honorable James McKay, a prominent Métis from the Red River area. McKay was involved in many of the Numbered Treaty negotiations, eventually becoming a Treaty Commissioner. With mixed feelings, Saxon is driven to learn more... what was McKay's involvement, his motivations for playing a pivotal role in this part of history? Saxon enlists the help of his friend Erin Goodpipe, a community educator and researcher with knowledge in treaty rights and together they travel to the location of the treaty signings and meet with the people who hold the knowledge on Treaty.
