The research draws on practices of treaty making prior to Treaty One and shows that the parties relied extensively on Anishinabe protocols and procedural laws in the context of the Treaty One negotiations. In addition, kinship relationships, the obligations derived from them, and a sense of the sacred obligations involved in treaty-making, informed the agreement that was made between the parties. In particular, the kinship between a mother and child was invoked by the parties; the Crown negotiators relying on it primarily to secure good terms with the Anishinabe and the Anishinabe advocating for a commitment to ensuring a good life while respecting and preserving their autonomy. The exploration of the historical records of the negotiations and the oral history surrounding the treaty help draw out the differing and sometimes competing understandings of the treaty, many of which continue to this day, and in particular in relation to the effect of the treaty agreement on legal relationships to land. They help illuminate questions regarding the interpretation of the Treaty, including what would be necessary in order to implement it in accordance with its signatories‘ understandings. iv Table of Contents Supervisory Committee ...................................................................................................... ii Abstract .............................................................................................................................. iii Table of Contents ............................................................................................................... iv List of Figures .................................................................................................................... vi Acknowledgments............................................................................................................. vii Dedication ........................................................................................................................ viii Chapter 1 : INTRODUCTION............................................................................................ 1 Overview ......................................................................................................................... 1 Treaty interpretation and implementation ....................................................................... 7 Methodology ................................................................................................................. 12 The record of Treaty One .......................................................................................... 15 Anishinabe Inaakonigewin (Law) ............................................................................. 20 Outline........................................................................................................................... 22 Conclusion .................................................................................................................... 24 Chapter 2 : PRE-TREATY CONTEXT ............................................................................ 29 Indigenous treaties ........................................................................................................ 34 The fur trade treaties ..................................................................................................... 37 Anishinabe treaties with the Crown .............................................................................. 45 Treaty with the Indians of Manitoba ............................................................................. 52 The need to secure alliance ....................................................................................... 52 The Selkirk Treaty .................................................................................................... 57 Reigning Uncertainty ................................................................................................ 59 Conclusion .................................................................................................................... 62 Chapter 3 : ANISHINABE INAAKONIGEWIN (LAW) AND TREATY ONE ............... 65 Understanding and defining - what is law?

  • The Numbered Treaties and the Liberal Order Framework
    Western University Scholarship@Western Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi) 2010 The umbN ered Treaties and the Liberal Order Framework Jean L. Manore Follow this and additional works at: https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/aprci Part of the Social Policy Commons Citation of this paper: Manore, Jean L., "The umbeN red Treaties and the Liberal Order Framework" (2010). Aboriginal Policy Research Consortium International (APRCi). 76. https://ir.lib.uwo.ca/aprci/76 3 The Numbered Treaties and the Liberal Order Framework Jean L. Manore One of the most important ideologies prevalent within government circles during the late nineteenth century and into the twentieth was liberalism, a complex idea that manifested itself in various western countries in a variety of ways. In Canada, because of its dominance during the time the Numbered Treaties were negoti- ated, liberalism influenced not only non-Native government officials’ understand- ing of the treaties themselves, but also how they were to be implemented. Space does not allow for a full discussion of liberalism, but an examination of some of its principal characteristics will demonstrate the presence of this ideology within the texts of the Numbered Treaties, and an examination of their implementation by non-Native agents will demonstrate how the liberal order framework that developed from the ideology came to pervade non-Native interpretations of the treaties. It must be pointed out, however, that there were other ideologies and views at work that limited liberalism’s power; thus the liberal order framework in Canada had to be adaptive and at times even ambiguous in its application.

    An agreement to share understanding the implications of the MMTP on Indigenous Peoples in a Treaty One context A report prepared for Wa Ni Ska Tan By Aimée Craft May, 2018 A long time ago when the Treaties were made, one of the Chiefs got up and pointed towards the heavens and he said, “The sun is my father, and the land is my mother. They teach us we have a responsibility in our generation, in our lifetime. […] Up to the horizons, beyond that is the seven generations, as far as you can see, that’s our responsibility – to teach those generations about our wisdom and our knowledge about our people.” We have a responsibility to keep the Treaty alive in our lifetime for future generations. - Elder Harry Bone Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba and Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs, Dtantu Balai Betl Nahidei: Our Relations To The Newcomers, vol 3, by Anishinaabe Elder Harry Bone, in Joe Hyslop, Harry Bone and the Treaty & Dakota Elders of Manitoba, with contributions by the AMC Council of Elders (Winnipeg: TRCM & AMC, 2015) [TRCM vol 3]. 2 3 Table of Contents ABOUT THE AUTHOR AND RETAINER 5 DECLARATION 6 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY 7 I.

    Christopher Hannibal-Paci Natural Resources Institute University of Manitoba Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada R3T-2N2 Phone: (204) 474-8287 Fax: (204) 261-0038 Email: [email protected] Stream: Aboriginal Discipline: Interdisciplinary Ph.D. (History, Zoology, N.R.I.) Lake Sturgeon: The Historical Geography of Lake Winnipeg Fishery Commons Introduction In the province of Manitoba lake sturgeon (Acipenser fulvescens) is currently threatened, extirpated from most of its original range. This has occurred for a number of reasons. A major feature has been the removal of control over the resource from the local level. Capitalization and resource extraction by outside interests has been allowed and encouraged by Canadian governments. Compounding this, a gap existed between local fisheries overseers and centralized Fisheries Department decision-makers who used incomplete and fragmented knowledge at critical junctures in the development of the sturgeon fishery. Finally, over-lapping uses for resources and development of some resources at the expense of others, i.e. hydro-electrical development, have negatively impacted fish populations and habitats. Few researchers have examined the transformation of resources from common property to commercial commodity. Cree and Ojibwe management of lake sturgeon is reconstructed as the basis for understanding the history of sturgeon fishing and its management on Lake Winnipeg, challenging some of the conventional wisdom and history about the transformation. The paper crosses boundaries of history, zoology and fisheries management theory to reexamine the sturgeon problem, incorporating divergent perspectives, including Cree and Ojibwe management systems. The most recent efforts to manage lake sturgeon in Manitoba have been with both formal and informal co-management, one response to a long history marked by successes and failures.
