This lesson is one piece in a larger unit on Aboriginal peoples’ experiences, which addresses interactions between Aboriginal peoples and European colonists and the effects of these interactions. The unit focuses on Aboriginal peoples’ experiences prior to and following contact, and the impact of Aboriginal peoples on Canadian identity. This lesson builds on this wider study of Aboriginal peoples, and introduces students to the concept of treaties, including their formation, consequences, and lasting impact. The sequence of lessons that follows will build on this lesson and examine a number of important factors in the study of treaties between Aboriginal peoples and European colonists.
