"These treaties are agreements, voluntarily entered into by both parties, which provide for peaceful relations between the two nations. They are more than a simple written document; they are sacred agreements between the First Nations peoples and the British Crown with the Creator as witness. They are “living,” permanent, foundational agreements based on the synthesis of two worldviews: the oral traditions (values and common laws) of the First Nations peoples and the written traditions (laws) of the Crown, who represented the newcomers."
"The treaties were based on the First Nations peoples’ principles: “Miyo- wîcêhtowin” (“Getting along with others”), Wîtaskêwin (“Living together on the land”) and Pimâcihowin (“Making a living”).3 Treaties were to provide both sides with the means of achieving survival and socio-economic stability, anchored on the principle of mutual benefit." 4
