Abstract

The geographical extent of the historical Indian treaties from 1725 to 1923 are shown on this map. Indian treaties have been generally classified into two groups: Pre-Confederation and Post-Confederation. Pre-Confederation treaties were made with the Crown through representatives of the British Government. Post-Confederation treaties were made with the Government of Canada. Peace and Friendship Treaties did not involve the transfer of land title and are therefore not individually represented on the map. Also, available is the historical Indian Treaties Timeline, which briefly describes chronologically the major treaties including the individual Upper Canada treaties.
