Treaties Flashcards
Treaties
agreements made between Indig groups and Canada with a set of rights and benefits for each side; associated with Sylvia McAdam and Leanne Simpson
Sylvia McAdam: Treaties
treaties are being disrespected, treaty violations (disease, starvation, residential schools, unconsensual land and resource development, etc.) led to the Idle No More movement, erosion of land and treaty rights to undermine Indig sovereignty, Indig believed it to be guided by nehiyaw (adoptions of each other, no power dynamic, only cooperation)
Leanne Simpson: Treaties
reconciliation must dismantle colonialist system (termination of treaty rights, returning sacred lands, respecting Indig sovereignty and land, etc.)
