The proclamation reserved land west of the Appalachian Mountains for Indians, and required the Crown to purchase Indian land through treaties, negotiated without coercion and in public, before issuing rights to newcomers to use and settle on the land. Marking its 250th anniversary Keeping Promises shows how central the application of the Proclamation is to the many treaties that followed it and the settlement and development of Canada. Promises have been made to Aboriginal peoples in historic treaties from the late eighteenth to the early twentieth centuries in Ontario, the Prairies, and the Mackenzie Valley, and in modern treaties from the 1970s onward, primarily in the North. In this collection, essays by historians, lawyers, treaty negotiators, and aboriginal leaders explore how and how well these treaties are executed. Addresses by the governor general of Canada and the federal minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development are also included. In 2003 Aboriginal leaders formed the Land Claims Agreements Coalition to make sure that treaties--building blocks of Canada--are fully implemented. Unique in breadth and scope, Keeping Promises is a testament to the research, advocacy, solidarity, and accomplishments of this coalition and those holding the Crown to its commitments."-- $c Provided by publisher. 530 $a Issued also in electronic format. 650 5 $a Native peoples $x Land tenure $z Canada. 650 5 $a Native peoples $z Canada $x Claims. 650 5 $a Native peoples $x Civil rights $z Canada. 650 5 $a Native peoples $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Canada. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $x Land tenure $z Canada. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $z Canada $x Claims. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $x Civil rights $z Canada. 650 0 $a Indigenous peoples $x Legal status, laws, etc. $z Canada. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2008123297 700 1 $a Aldridge, Jim, $e editor. $e editor. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n83019710 700 1 $a Fenge, Terry, $d 1950- $e editor. $e editor. 776 1 $t Keeping promises. $k McGill-Queen's Native and northern series ; $k McGill-Queen's Native and northern series ; $w (CaOONL)20159040213 830 0 $a McGill-Queen's native and northern series ; $v 78. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n93023497 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231021020900.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3BFCDC32033A11E8972C924897128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
