"Indian treaties" : memorandum from the Department of Indian Affairs Canada.: R32-363/1992E-PDF

"From the first occupation of America by the British the right of the Indians to the lands occupied by them was acknowledged, and their claim to compensation for the surrender of their hunting grounds was conceded, the Crown reserving to itself the exclusive privilege of treating with the Indians for the surrender or purchase of any portions of the lands required for settlement or other purposes. This rule was distinctly laid down in the proclamation of 1765, and has been generally observed since that date"--p. 1.
