DESCRIPTION:The Royal Proclamation of 1763 is recognized as one of Canada’s
  founding constitutional documents\, and is sometimes referred to as a “Bi
 ll of Rights” for Indigenous people.  Less well-known and recognized in Ca
 nadian classrooms and jurisprudence is a treaty entered into a year later\
 , in July and August 1764\, when about 2000 First Nations chiefs gathered 
 at Fort Niagara to meet with British superintendent of Indian Affairs\, Si
 r William Johnson.  The treaty of peace\, friendship and respect entered i
 nto at Niagara 250 years ago set out a framework for Indigenous and Britis
 h co-existence on Turtle Island\, as the British were brought within the n
 ormative web of relationships already existing on Turtle Island. Included 
 in the treaty negotiation was the reading of the text of the Proclamation 
 – but the negotiations and terms of the eventual treaty were richer than t
 he plain text of the document.  Come learn about the Treaty of Niagara and
  its implications for understanding the Royal Proclamation\, the developme
 nt of present-day Canada\, and the Crown/First Nations relationship.  The 
 first speaker for the evening is Al Corbière from Manitoulin Island\, a ca
 rrier of a Niagara wampum replica\, who will explain the historical contex
 t in which the Treaty of Niagara was negotiated\, as well as the meaning a
 nd significance of wampum belts that embody the Treaty of Niagara. The sec
 ond speaker is Aaron Mills\, Trudeau and Vanier scholar and PhD candidate 
 at the University of Victoria\, who will discuss the significance of the T
 reaty of Niagara from the perspective of Anishinaabe law and constitutiona
 lism and its implication for Canadian constitutionalism.  The Centre for H
 uman Rights and Legal Pluralism and the Aboriginal Law Students’ Associati
 on are proud to host this event as part of Indigenous Awareness Week 2014\
 , in partnership with the Office of Social Equity and Diversity in Educati
 on. They would like to thank all event supporters\, particularly Dionne Sc
 hulze S.E.N.C. and Hutchins Legal Inc. for their generous contributions th
 at helped make this event possible.
