For just as long, details about the signing of the constitutionally recognized agreement have been known only through the accounts of two of the commissioners appointed by the Government of Canada. Treaty No. 9 provides a truer perspective on the treaty by adding the neglected account of a third commissioner and tracing the treaty's origins, negotiation, explanation, interpretation, signing, implementation, and recent commemoration Restoring nearly forgotten perspectives to the historical record, John Long considers the methods used by the government of Canada to explain Treaty No. 9 to Northern Ontario First Nations. He shows that many crucial details about the treaty's contents were omitted in the transmission of writing to speech, while other promises were made orally but not included in the written treaty. Reproducing the three treaty commissioners' personal journals in their entirety, Long reveals the contradictions that suggest the treaty parchment was never fully explained to the First Nations who signed it."--Pub. website Bibliography Includes bibliographical references (pages 521-575) and index Notes English Print version record SUBJECT Treaty No. 9 (1905 July 12) Treaty No. 9 (1905 July 12) fast Subject Cree Indians -- Ontario -- Treaties -- History Ojibwa Indians -- Ontario -- Treaties -- History Cree Indians -- Ontario -- Government relations Ojibwa Indians -- Ontario -- Government relations Ojibwa Indians -- Ontario -- Treaties -- History LAW -- Administrative Law & Regulatory Practice.
