James Macleod, along with Northwest Territories lieutenant Governor David Laird, was one of the treaty commissioners assigned to negotiate Treaty 7 with the Siksika, Kainai, Piikani, Tsuu T’ina, and Nakoda First Nations in the land that is now part of southern Alberta.
James Farquarson Macleod was born on the Isle of Skye in Scotland in 1836, the son of Captain Donald Martin Macleod of the 25th Imperial Regiment.
While Macleod was held in high regard by Chief Crowfoot of the Siksika and Red Crow of the Kainai, this did not necessarily mean that these men, or the other First Nations leaders, were willing to agree to a treaty simply because Macleod was there.
