Before the Manitoulin Treaty of 1862 the Anishinaabe people had occupied the land for centuries living in relative isolation with their own customs and traditions utilizing the entirety of the island, which resulted in great economic prosperity. However, after the treated was signed in 1862 and the provisions of the document were implemented the people were forcefully assimilated into nineteenth century English society. These ensuing enactments not only deprived them of their own heritage and culture, but also sent them into economic turmoil, which was caused by sedentary agriculture, resettlement, and failed government initiatives.

Don’t forget, these treaties were only an agreement. In March of 1775, The Wilderness Road project started and would eventually travel through a notch in the Appalachian Mountains called the Cumberland Gap. This fundamentally changed travel through the
This article’s title is “Inseparable Companions” and Irreconcilable Enemies: The Hurons and Odawas of French Detroit, 1701-38 and its author is Andrew Sturtevant. The thesis in this article is the sentence, “The Hurons ' and Odawas ' simmering hostility and eventual conflict demonstrate that native groups survived the Iroquois onslaught and that their interaction profoundly shaped the region”. In this article, Sturtevant is arguing that the Huron and Odawa are distinct nations with different culture and that because of the differences they had many disagreements, not simply because of the colonialism by the French. Sturtevant uses direct quotes from primary sources to show that the distinct nations fought because of their own differences,
He wanted to forge an alliance with the Aboriginals to make sure the Europeans were secure. He sent young Europeans to live with the Aboriginal peoples, and learn their values. He also made amends by joining Algonquin people in war against the Haudensaunee, in
Unveiling the Significance of the Great Law of the Iroquois League. This paper aims to explore the Indigenous histories of Abya Yala and Turtle Island by examining the primary source, the “Great Law of the Iroquois League”. The construction of this foundational document from c.1300 through oral tradition, was to address the ‘suffering of constant warfare’ among the members of the Iroquois Confederacy, and establish unity and harmony among the Five Nations of the Haudenosaunee–the Cayugas, Mohawks, Oneidas, Onondagas, and Senecas. The analysis of this source also engages with the perceptions of the secondary source “The Ordeal of the Longhouse”, an analysis by Daniel Richter that reconstructs the histories of Indigenous people. In this essay, I argue that the “Great Law of the Iroquois League”

The Shoshones were intrigued by the skin color of Lewis and his crew because they had never seen a white person before then. While exploring through the Shoshone tribe, Sacagawea recognizes the chief for their tribe, and it turned out to be her brother, Cameahwait. They hadn't seen each other in five years so they were extremely happy to see each other.
This negotiation between the two showed the importance to others in the history of how the Seminoles were not willing to back down on their ideals and would not be oppressed. Because of this treaty, we now have a deeper understanding of the Seminole Nation and how they felt. The Seminole Tribes' treaties hold much importance in history, showing us how they had to negotiate and resist the United States and others as well. This treaty is more noticeable than the rest because it explains to us how they had to negotiate with the United States about their people's freedom, ideals, and the safety of others before them. This treaty not only helped show us where the Seminole Nation's destiny would go, but also helped provide interesting interactions between the communities.
John A Macdonald: The Old Chieftain by Donald Creighton This part of article was written by Donald Creighton talking about the Macdonald’s only concern, Nation Builder. Macdonald’s concern, in this book, was to ally with Britain which can defense the invasion of Units States: “secure and maintain its separate political existence in North America” and “Canada must belong either to the American or British system of government” (Page 165 of 165) said by Macdonald. Further, to get independent and diplomatic status from England was the ultimate point because of Macdonald’s unhappy experience-Treaty of Washington in 1871 which was British commissioners negotiating.

Especially during the inception of the Hudson’s Bay Company, mercantilism complemented the Royal Charter and made Rupert’s Land a pivotal force in discouraging American forces from moving up North.

After the end of World War I, the Allied Powers met to set the peace terms for the defeated countries. The main decisions were the creation of the League of Nations, five major peace treaties with the defeated nations, disposition of the overseas colonies of Germany, and the drawing of new national boundaries of Europe. This conference set the stage for high reparations that Germany had to pay. Since Canada had been a major country playing important roles in allied victory, Prime Minister Robert Borden demanded that Canada should have a separate seat at the conference, giving Canada the right to sign the Treaty of Versailles. As a result
The Native Americans might would have been violent because they didn’t know their intentions. It was important because they were able to negotiate, without the English taking advantage of the Native Americans. When the Pokanoket tribe and the Plymouth colony settlers formed the treaty, it
The Sworn Agreement of the Settlers was an ancient decree from the Theran government that mandated the colonization of Libya. This colonization process can be viewed and analyzed from two opposing angles reflecting the positive and negative impacts on Thera and its citizens. First of all, this decree reflects the Theran government’s position regarding the strict requirements of its citizens towards the colonization process. We can see ambiguous point of views towards the colonization process. On one side, the process of colonization is a pure act of intervention into foreign land from Thera led by Apollo.

Even though they have had a moderate amount of success in that adaptation, as they have established relatively successful trade agreements with French settlers, that cooperation eventually came back to haunt them, as they were
First Nations and European approaches in regards to historical events have differed in most cases. The Europeans have approached many events with policy in mind where as the First Nations people viewed many events with a spiritual lens. In regards to the treaties, First Nations people viewed them as a spiritual process and a sacred act. The treaties were supposed to be formed for both parties benefit. It is shown that the European people did what they could to ensure the First Nations lost more than they gained.
