The objective of this thesis is to examine the archival
documents that may be considered by the Supreme Court of
Canada if the Treaty 7 Nations were to challenge the
Federal Government on the Treaty’s content and meaning.
The impetus for this thesis is two-fold. Firstly, recent
decisions by the Supreme Court of Canada, in relation to
Aboriginal historical treaties, have demonstrated a shift
towards legally recognizing the sovereignty of First
Nations. As more First Nations challenge the Federal
Government on their fulfillment of treaty obligations,
Supreme Court decisions will become more elaborate and
exhaustive, providing many Nations with an opportunity to
address treaty concerns in a more substantive manner than
in the past. Secondly, the Blackfoot are my neighbours and
I am very honoured to relay part of their story. / 375 leaves ; 29 cm.
