Examples of Treaty in a sentence
If the assumption that the territory of the XxXxxx Lake Sekani is within Treaty 8 is put aside, then Xxxxxxxxx Xxx'x implied conclusion that the settlement effectively corrects a historic wrong perpetrated by the BC government is not substantiated by the evidence.
Xxxxxxxxx Xxx never addresses this question effectively; instead, he concludes that the western boundary of Treaty 8, described as "the central range of the Rocky Mountains," was the Arctic-Pacific continental divide.
The readers should also be aware that, in the DIA files related to the planning for the making of Treaty 8, all evidence except Xxxxxx'x map and P C 2749 suggests that the government did not intend to make a treaty with any groups living west of the Rocky Mountains in 1899.
The documents suggest that Treaty 8 did not include the territory of the XxXxxx Lake Sekani and that the federal government never pursued their adhesion to the treaty.
It is important that readers have a full understanding of the issue of the western boundary of Treaty 8 if they are to ask appropriate ques- tions about the XxXxxx Lake settlement.
