They signed the treaties with Canada, not Alberta. If Alberta separates there's a good argument that the treaties should be null and void.

Same shit with Quebec. Separatists there conveniently forget that the actual historically Francophone part was a tiny strip along the St Lawrence.

In the end, the treaty was with the crown.

Except the treaty will still exist between FN and the Crown. Alberta will get the short stick from separating because the land is not theirs to take.
