The Numbered Treaties (or Post-Confederation Treaties) are a series of eleven treaties signed between the Aboriginal peoples in Canada (or First Nations) and the reigning monarch of Canada (Victoria, Edward VII or George V) from 1871 to 1921.[1] These agreements were created to allow the Canadian Government to pursue settlement and resource extraction in the affected regions, which include modern day Alberta, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, Saskatchewan, and the Northwest Territories. These Treaties provided the Dominion of Canada large tracts of land in exchange for promises made to the First Nation people of the area.[2] In return for surrendering rights to traditional lands First Nations were promised reserve lands, annual annuity payments, farming implements, education allowances, the rights to hunt / trap / fish on their new reserve lands, etc. These terms were dependent on individual negotiations and so specific terms differed with each Treaty.

These Treaties came in two waves-- Numbers 1 through 7 from 1871-1877 and Numbers 9 through 11 from 1899-1921. In the first wave, the treaties were key in advancing European settlement across the Prairie regions as well as the development of the Canadian Pacific Railway. These signings completed John A. MacDonald’s national dream of connecting Canada from sea to sea. First Nations communities were forced into signing since aid was greatly needed due to rampant disease and the loss of the buffalo.[1] While in the second wave, resource extraction was the main motive for government officials. This is seen within Treaty 11 when oil was found in the Northwest Territory the year prior to the Treaties execution and Treaty 9 when the government ruled out hydro sights as reserve lands.[2]  

Today, these agreements are upheld by the Government of Canada,[3] administered by Canadian Aboriginal law and overseen by the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.[4] However, the Numbered Treaties are criticized and are a leading issue within the fight for First Nation rights. The 1982 Constitution Act gave protection of First Nations and treaty rights under Section 35. It states, “Aboriginal and treaty rights are hereby recognized and affirmed”.[3] This phrase however was never fully defined. As a result,  First Nations must attest their rights in court as the case in R v Sparrow.[4]

Through centuries of interaction First Nations view the Numbered Treaties as sacred.[6] As an expression of this association, First Nations in Canada and members of the Federal Government will regularly meet to celebrate milestone anniversaries, exchange ceremonial and symbolic gifts, and discuss treaty issues. Treaty Days are celebrated in Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. In communities like that of Webequie First Nation it is a day to reaffirm First Nation rights and promises made to them as they should not be forgotten[5].

Background

[edit]

The relationship between The Canadian Crown and Aboriginal peoples stretches back to first contact between European colonialists and North American Aboriginal peoples. Over centuries of interaction, treaties were established concerning interaction between the monarch and Aboriginal peoples. Both the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and the British North American Act of 1867 established guidelines that would be later used to create the numbered treaties.

The Royal Proclamation occurred in 1763, and is considered to be the foundation of treaty-making in Canada. This proclamation established a line between the Appalachian Mountain from Nova Scotia and the southern region of Georgia, and prevented settlement beyond that specific area.[6] The Royal Proclamation of 1763: The proclamation also established protocols that needed to be acknowledged by the governing authority in regards of purchasing land from First Nations Peoples in North America and later Canada.[7] The Royal Proclamation was created as a result of the assertion of British jurisdiction over First Nation territory. With British claim over First Nation territory, uprisings from Pontiac, the Three Fire Confederacy, and other First Nations Peoples, the Royal Proclamation was intended to prevent future disputes.[8] The Royal Proclamation stated that the only authoritative government that was able to purchase land from First Nations People was the British Crown. One of the stipulations of this agreement was that First Nation People were to be informed and attend the public assembly regarding the purchase of lands.[9]

When the British North American Act was created, a division of power was established between the Dominion Government and its provinces that separated First Nation Peoples and settlers. The federal government retained responsibility for providing health care, education, property rights and creating other laws that would affect the First Nations people.[10][11] Following the establishment of the British North American Act in 1867, the Dominion Government of Canada replaced the British Crown as the leading authority, and gained control of 19th century First Nations land transfers.[12]

Both the Royal Proclamation and the British North American Act impacted the procedures of governmental and First Nations People negotiations. They set the stage for future negotiations that would occur, including the numbered treaties that would begin in 1871.

Call for Treaties

[edit]

Negotiation of the Number Treaties began in 1871- the first seven affected those living on the plains, while the remaining were negotiated at a later time between 1899 and 1921 and concerned those living further north. Each treaty delineates a tract of land which was thought to be the traditional territory of the First Nations People signing that particular treaty.[13] For Canada it was a necessary step before settlement and development could occur further westward. No two treaties were alike, as they were dependent upon specific geographic and social conditions within the territory being addressed.[14]

Government

[edit]

After confederation, the newly formed Dominion of Canada looked to expand its borders from sea to sea. There was fear amongst the population that rapid expansion from the United States would leave the country cornered with limited arable land, lack of opportunity for economic growth, and resource extraction.[15] To the west of Ontario was Rupert’s Land, fur trading territory operated by the Hudson Bay Company since 1670, which contained several trading post and some small settlements, such as the Red River Colony.[16] During the first session of Parliament many called for the annexation of the territory and letters were sent to the British Monarchy suggesting that “it would promote the prosperity of the Canadian people, and conduce to the advantage of the whole Empire if the Dominion of Canada … were extended westward to the shore of the Pacific Ocean.”(Copies of Correspondence) In the following years, negotiations took place to acquire full control of the region with the creation of the Rupert’s Land Act of 1868 and the Northwest Territories Transfer Act of 1870.[17] Even though the government acquired the land from the Hudson Bay Company, they failed to have full control and use of the land; this transfer solely provided sovereignty over the area.

One of the conditions in order to ensure British Columbia would join the confederation at the time was the expansion of the Canadian Pacific Railway into its territory in order to connect it to the rest of the nation.[18] This major infrastructure project would have to go  through the interior of the newly acquired land and through First Nation Territory. Canadian law, as set out in the Royal Proclamation, recognized that the First Nations who inhabited these lands prior to European contact had title to the land. In order to satisfy British Columbia’s request and the growing need for land by eastern settlers and new immigrants, treaties would have to be created with the First Nation people in the interior.

Similarly, the later treaties of the turn of the century were not conducted until the land was useful for government purposes. When gold was discovered in the Klondike in the 1890s Treaty 8 was established in the hopes of quelling tensions and conflicts between First Nations People of the northern reaches and miners and traders.[19] Despite the fact that First Nations people of the Mackenzie Valley were in economic need well before the 1920s, it was not until an abundance of oil was found that treaties needed to be implemented.[20] Ottawa only lobbied for treaties in the north when potential development could be supported in the region. For political and economic reasoning, the federal government would hastily put treaties into place without regards to First Nation well-being.[21]

First Nation

[edit]

In regards to Treaties 1-7, there was some resistance from members of the First Nations to the treaty process and growing anxiety that it would allow a flood of settlers, but many saw it as a way to secure much needed assistance.[2] The First Nations at this time were suffering due to the changing dynamics of the west including disease, famine, and conflict[22] First Nation people were being decimated by disease, specifically smallpox, which had catastrophic ramifications for several groups. Tsuu T’ina for example were decimated by Old World disease. Their population fell from several thousand to only 300 to 400 remaining within the 1800s.[1] They began to suffer from famine due to the near extinction of the buffalo. Active participation in selling pemican and hide in the fur trade, in addition to hunting for personal sustenance, meant that those living on the plains lacked a vital food source to maintain their livelihood.[1] They were eager to receive food aid and other assistance from the government, which they believed would be offered following the implementation of treaties.[23] Some First Nation groups also sought to ensure some form of education would be provided to them through the implementation of the treaties. Education was crucial to the First Nation People because their cultural way of life was diminishing around them quite rapidly. They believed that the promise of education would not only help curb the loss of culture but ensure their children's’ future success in a new developed West.[24][25] In the northern regions of this untreatied land, the first nation people were suffering from similar issues, but would have to continue to lobby the Canadian government for years before treaties were negotiated. A focus on materials needed for survival was placed when they did finally occur.[26]

Meaning and Interpretation

[edit]

Consequences of the Treaties

The numbered treaties signed by the Dominion Government and First Nations Chiefs between 1877-1921 were rushed and disorganized, and ultimately had poor results for First Nations groups.[27] These treaties were limiting to the Aboriginal way of life, and acted “in the interest of non-native economic concerns”.[28] Because of the treaties, Canada was seen as an oppressive colonizer at this time, most prominently because the government was more concerned with changing the various First Nations groups, rather than negotiating and collaborating with them.[28] [29] Some of the most prominent effects of the Numbered Treaties for First Nations groups included limited funds for education, and supplies (ex. fishing net twine), as well as minimal allocation of land as First Nations Reserve. Upon signing the treaties, Canada obtained control of most aspects of society, especially in regards to schooling, resource extraction, land use, and implementation of laws for various social questions (ex. alcohol policies).

“There is not a part of Canada whose early post-contact history was not founded on commercial exchange between indigenous peoples and immigrants”[30], with treaties always holding an important part of Canadian life.”[31] - J.R. Miller

Language

Unlike previous treaties, which included both First Nations and European tradition, the numbered treaties were conducted in a purely British diplomatic manner. First Nations were given translators, either of European or Metis descent, who were to translate what was being said during the discussions. What can be seen here is a significant difference between the written documents used by government officials of the time, and the oral traditions used by the First Nation communities throughout the negotiation process. This reality is proven through diaries like those of the Indian commissioner, Duncan Campbell Scott, who wrote a detailed account of negotiating treaties nine through eleven.[32] There are also claims from First Nations People that Alexander Morris failed to mention the surrender clause in the treaty text at the negotiations for Treaty 6, leading to miscommunication between the two groups.[33] Evidence can also be found amongst the few written documents of the time by First Nations Chiefs; during Treaty 3, Chief Powasson took detailed notes during the negotiations, which shows the differences in understanding of what was being offered during the talks because of the language barrier.[34]


The use of specific wording during the negotiations and within the treaties are also points of contention. The language used by the commissioners during the numbered treaties negotiations addressed First Nations tradition by giving them entitlement of children and the Crown was identified as Queen Mother.[35] When the commissioner recognized First Nations Peoples as children and British Crown as Queen Mother, this ensured the First Nations People were to always to be protected from danger by their parents and enjoy their freedom.[35] As the numbered treaties negotiations came to an end, the language use was significant to First Nations People. To seal the numbered treaties references to the natural world like, "You will always be cared for, all the time, as long as the sun walks"[36] was used to appeal to the First Nations People.
