Western Hemisphere
Origin of Canada
Canada bases its territorial
integrity and assertion of
sovereignty over Indigenous
Nations by continuing to rely
on the racist and outdated
notions of Terra Nullius and the
Doctrine of Discovery.
Treaty of Swegatchy
August 1760
Neutraility: The Seven Nations and their allies and
dependents agreed to remain neutral as British
forces descended on Montreal, provided Britain
thenceforth treated them as friends.
Protection of Land Rights: The British Crown promised
the Seven Nations, their allies and dependents, that
they could continue to occupy their villages and
hunting grounds without interference.
Freedom of Religion: The British Crown assured the
Seven Nations, their allies and dependents, that they
could continue to practice the Roman Catholic
faith.
Treaty of Kahnawake
September 1760
Peace: The Seven Nations, their allies and
dependents, agreed to make peace with Britain and
its Six Nation allies and sever their links with the French.
Alliance: The Seven Nations, their allies and
dependents, agreed to re(join) the Six Nations, their
allies and dependents, in one large alliance in the
British interest.
Mutual Support: The parties agreed to support one
another in times of crisis. As part of the Covenant
Chain Alliance, the Seven Nations, their allies and
dependents, promised to provide Britain with military
assistance against European powers or hostile Indian
Nations.
Treaty of Kahnawake
September 1760
Free and Open Trade: The British Crown promised the
Seven Nations, their allies and dependents, would
have unfettered access to Anglo-American traders
based in New York and other colonies.
Anti-Trespass: The parties agreed that the British
Crown would regulate traders and, in the process,
control the distribution of alcohol, in the Indian
villages, at trading posts, and in the Indian country.
Protection of Land Rights: As at the Treaty of
Swegatchy, the British Crown promised to protect
Indian rights to their villages and hunting grounds.
Treaty of Kahnawake
September 1760
Freedom of Religion: As at the Treaty of
Sewgatchy, Britain promised to allow the
Seven Nations to practice the Roman
Catholic faith.
Economic Assistance: The British Crown
agreed to provide blacksmiths and other
tradesmen to assist the Indian Nations, as
had been the case with the French.
