By including the full text of eight significant treaties from across the country—each accompanied by a cast of characters, related sources, discussion questions, and an essay by the author—he teaches readers how to analyze and understand treaties as living documents.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe book begins by examining treaties concluded during the height of colonial competition, when France and Britain each sought to solidify their alliances with Indigenous peoples. It then goes on to tell the stories of treaty negotiations from across the country: the miscommunication of ideas and words from Crown representatives to treaty text; the varying ranges of rights and promises; treaty negotiations for which we have a rich oral history but limited written records; multiple phases of post-Confederation treaty-making; and the unique case of competing treaties with radically different interpretations.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cp\u003eTimeline\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIntroduction: Reading a Treaty and Overview of Treaties Addressed by Chapter\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e1. 1752 Peace and Friendship Treaty\u003cbr\u003e2. 1760 Huron-British Treaty\u003cbr\u003e3. 1805 Treaty 13 (Toronto Purchase)\u003cbr\u003e4. 1850 Robinson-Huron Treaty\u003cbr\u003e5. 1852 Saanich Treaty\u003cbr\u003e6. 1871 Treaty 1\u003cbr\u003e7. 1899 Treaty 8\u003cbr\u003e8. 1923 Williams Treaty\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAppendix 1: Cast of Characters\u003cbr\u003eAppendix 2: Glossary of Terms\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\u003c\/font\u003e","brand":"University of Toronto Press","offers":[{"title":"Brand New","offer_id":52599863279896,"sku":"9781487594459","price":25.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/freshlyprintedbooks.co.uk\/products\/solemn-words-and-foundational-documents-an-annotated-discussion-of-indigenous-crown-treaties-in-canada-1752-1923-paperback-softback-9781487594459","provider":"Freshly Printed Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
