HENCE, there is the general appearance of historical "treaties" over 250 years being under considerable review and reconsideration; examining the present day malaise; and, witnessing the record of evident failures in the process.
The Canadian case book on colonization and assimilation is, by global comparison, not abnormal.
But, is it acceptable. And, if there is compliance failure - What Are The Remedies ?
The Canada / Turtle Island North indigenous Peoples and the Crown legacies are reasonable to examine as a comparison to those similar events in other countries and territories where occupation became settlement by colonizers; and, indigenous Peoples lost rights to land and resources in the ensuing process of paradigm shifts in governance.
HENCE, a Study of Colonial Treaties in North America / Turtle Island North is developed herein; to serve the purpose of establishing the Protocol to examine Treaties globally between indigenous Peoples and colonial parties (other governments, companies, churches, et cetera).
