What is a treaty? How are historical treaties different from modern treaties? What types of land governance agreements exist between Indigenous Peoples and the Crown in places where there are no treaties? This video shows how treaties were intended as means to confirm agreements between the federal government (often referred to as ‘the Crown’) and Indigenous Peoples, to secure modes of peaceful co-existence and land and ‘resource’ sharing. Ultimately, treaties are a fundamental expression of relationship, and are the basis for legitimate settler presence.
