Research Reports

Between 1979 and 1986, the Treaties and Historical Research Branch (now Claims and Historical Research Branch) of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada commissioned a series of reports dealing with the 11 Numbered Treaties, the pre-Confederation Treaties and treaties relating to regions. Written by academics, independent consultants or T&HR staff, these fully-referenced research reports included photographs, maps, a bibliography and supporting documentation.

Please note that these reports express the authors' views and not necessarily those of the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada.

On-line Research Reports

The research reports are now available on-line in HTML format. These on-line versions do not contain the images or supporting documentation, such as treaty texts, published in the original printed reports. The images are available in the Image Gallery and the texts can be accessed in the Treaty Texts section. The reports, images and treaty texts are all cross-linked. However, the bibliographies have been retained in the reports, complete with their now often-outdated archival names, so that researchers can readily see the sources used in each report. Please visit the Printed Resources page for current bibliographies.
