@author_matthewflagler: Most Canadians learned that Indigenous peoples “gave up” the land through the Numbered Treaties. But is that actually what both sides believed they were agreeing to? In this episode, we explore one of the most important—and most misunderstood—questions in Canadian history: • Did Indigenous peoples believe they were selling the land? • What role did oral promises play? • Why do Canadian courts still hear treaty cases today? • What does “Honour of the Crown” actually mean? This episode isn’t about assigning guilt. It’s about understanding why treaty interpretation remains one of the most important legal and historical issues in Canada. Understanding Canada’s past helps us better understand Canada’s present. #canada #IndigenousTikTok #treaties #truthandreconciliation #canadianhistory

only certain pieces of land were ceded too. 95% in BC is unceded/stolen land with only 2 treaties made over the history

No other contract allows for someone who signed a legal document, to later claim ignorance of what they signed. I didn't fully understand what my car lease said, but I'm still bound by it.

This is the challenge with Te Tiriti (The Treaty of Waitangi). Different interpretations of different versions.

If a treaty is constructed in bad faith is it valid?
