Lands and Treaties

Lands and treaties refer to agreements between governments—often between indigenous nations and states—that define rights to land, resources, and sovereignty. Treaties can recognize land ownership, establish borders, or specify obligations. They are legal documents that can influence how land is used, who has authority, and how resources are shared or protected. Understanding these agreements is essential for recognizing historical and ongoing relationships related to territory, rights, and stewardship, often reflecting complex negotiations and cultural considerations.
