First Nations treaties

First Nations treaties are formal agreements between Indigenous peoples and the Canadian government that outline rights, land use, and shared responsibilities. These treaties recognize First Nations' historical connections to the land and aim to establish alliances for peaceful coexistence, resource sharing, and mutual benefits. They often include promises about land rights, living conditions, and cultural preservation. While some treaties are old, many modern agreements continue to shape relationships today, addressing issues like land management, environmental stewardship, and Indigenous self-governance. These treaties are essential in understanding Canada’s history and ongoing efforts toward reconciliation.
