Instead\, it argues that missionaries operated on the fringe of the political and diplomatic networks in the Canadian nor thwest plains\, and thus their influence on treaty-making was reduced to t hat of reciprocal patrons of Indigenous leaders and go-betweens for the Ca nadian government\; leaving them a step removed from the brokering of the treaty. This conclusion offers new understands of both the treaty-making p rocess and the meaning of Christianity in the plains during the 1870s.\n\n  \n\nDetails of image above:\n Title: Treaty 6 with Saskatchewan Cree. Date : 1876\n Image No: NA-1315-19 (Glenbow Museum Archives\, Calgary)\n Illustra tor: McIntyre\, A.
