A treaty described documented agreements between a colonial government and Indigenous peoples that are often viewed as a legal transferring of land; many Indigenous people saw the signing of treaties as a means of building relationships with settlers while maintaining sovereignty over their lands, whereas the Crown saw treaties as a way of legally acquiring Indigenous land to assert power and control. - The On Canada Project & Shanese Indoowaaboo, adapted by Michelle Xie [1]
