Treaty Indian in Canada
Definition of Treaty Indian
The Canada social science dictionary [1] provides the following meaning of Treaty Indian: A Native person or descendant of a Native person who signed a treaty. The registration list under the Indian Act was drawn up to include those band members who signed treaties, so all treaty Indians are also status Indians (unless they have lost their status). Treaties were signed with bands in parts of British Columbia, Ontario and the Northeast Territories and most of Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba. See: NUMBERED TREATIES / STATUS INDIAN related information in this encyclopedia, in the legal dictionary or in the world encyclopedia of law.
