No. They signed them with "nations".
Of Indigenous people... :roll:
It's been made apparent that you don't.
I cannot be forced to be part of a contract unless I sign it or have given power of attorney to someone who did.
So the gov't sends you a draft of every contract your taxes go to pay for?
I also know that someone who is not a party to a contract has no rights to collect on it.
So with that logic in mind, you have no right to collect on the benefits granted the authors of the original contracts.
When will you be leaving?
Why would you thank him for giving you erroneous information?
The whites were always trying to make the Indians give up their life and live like the white men - go to farming, work hard and do as they did - and the Indians did not know how to do that, and did not want to anyway….If the Indians had tried to make the whites live like them, the whites would have resisted, and it was the same with many Indians.
This is very much part of the problem, taking the words of one Nation and trying to apply it to all.
In Ontario Canada, the Anish were farmers, they enjoyed farming, they cleared vast tracts of land to do so. After contact, they only got better at it with the arrival of contemporary farming implements.
They cleared even greater tracts of land, built grist mills, and developed an agricultural economy that attracted European settlement., only to be swindled out of it by Bondhead.
Thankfully Bondhead memorialized his crooked dealings.
Which of course precipitated the massive payment to correct the fraudulent expropriation of Anish land that was executed in the last couple years.
