Why Treaties Matter
treaties gave status
More than 300 treaties made with Indian tribes
An agreement between two nations
special rights
written formal agreement
it is like a fallacy
Native Nations given rights to the United States
sovereign nations can make the agreements
Relinquished land
Native Americans don't have the same ideas about the land than Americans
Relation to the land and water
They are not rights given to the Native Americans
All of the treaties have been broken by the federal government
Ancestors broke promises to the Native Americans
To help them not to own it
Treaties are seen as not relevant
People believe treaties are a thing of the past
wipe away treaty history
once a treaty is signed and ratified it becomes part the Supreme Law of the Land
they transept to generations
treaties go both ways
mutual respect
non native people are treaty partners
protect
living documents
