We keep hearing about respecting treaties.  Here they are, Treaties 8 and 9. (abridged).

a) "... Indians do hereby cede, release, surrender and yield up to the government of the Dominion of Canada, for His Majesty the King...all their rights titles and privileges whatsoever, to the lands...outside of the Indian reserves.
b) "...they shall have the right to pursue their usual vocations of hunting, trapping and fishing throughout the tract surrendered as heretofore described, ... excepting such tracts as may be required ...for settlement, mining, lumbering, trading or other purposes".
c) "...Ojibeway, Cree and other chiefs and headmen,...solemnly promise and engage to strictly observe this treaty, and also to conduct and behave themselves as good and loyal subjects of His Majesty the King. .
 
What is not to understand? What part of this have we violated? Why does this comment keep getting deleted?
