Most of the settled lands of Canada were transferred from First Nations to the Crown (the Government) through treaties. A treaty is a negotiated agreement that sets out the rights, responsibilities and relationships of Aboriginal people and the federal and provincial governments.However, when the treaties were signed there was considerable cultural misunderstandings that ultimately resulted in major harm being done to many First Nations communities.
