Welcome to the Historic Treaty Information Site

The Historic Treaty Information site has been created by the Treaty Policy Directorate of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada (TPD, INAC) to make more readily accessible a number of resources relating to historic treaties. The site contains historical research reports, images, maps, bibliographies and other resources pertaining to the more than 70 historic treaties negotiated between 1701 and 1923. We hope to continue expanding this site in future and welcome your suggestions.

As a centre of expertise for understanding Canada's Historic Treaties with First Peoples, the Directorate works to affirm the importance of the treaty relationship and to develop bridges between these treaties and modern relationships. The Directorate also conducts research, discusses treaty issues with Treaty First Nations, provides educational presentations about treaties and provides information and advice within INAC and to other federal departments.
