Answer to Question #281940 in History for jag

Question

Compare how the royal proclamation of 1763 and the Indian act depict relations between indigenous people’s government adnd the crown/Canadian people federal government 

Answer 1

The royal proclamation set guidelines for European settlement of Aboriginal territories. It is important to the indigenous people as first step toward the recognition of existing Aboriginal rights and title, including the right to self-determination. In this regard, the Royal Proclamation is sometimes called “the Indian Magna Carta.” The Royal Proclamation set a foundation for the process of establishing treaties. For example, treaty-making typically involved presence of both parties — the First Nation and the government, for there to be some form of consent between the two, and for the First Nation to be compensated for any lands or resources taken.
