Medal presented to Indian chiefs to commemorate Treaty Numbers 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8.

This medal also used to replace the medal that had been struck as a replacement medal to commemorate Treaty 1 and Treaty 2. The original Treaty 1 and 2 medals had been deemed unsuitable and inferior, and the first replacement medals, which were silver plated, were also unsatisfactory as the plating quickly wore off.
