International context of Crown-Aboriginal treaties / Russel Lawrence Barsh, James Youngblood Henderson. : Z1-1991/1-41-137E-PDF

“This report begins with an examination of the European scholarly debates on the legal capacity and rights of non-Christian and tribal peoples, which took place during the century following the "discovery" of the Americas. It proceeds to a survey of diplomatic practices from the 16th to 19th centuries, tracing the use of treaties in demarcating the boundaries of Europe's emerging secular nation-states, and in the subsequent expansion of European commercial interests to Asia, Africa and the Americas. This is followed by a critical review of changes in Europeans' interpretation of their treaties with indigenous or tribal peoples, and a comparison of contemporary Anglo-Canadian law with the most recent decisions of United Nations bodies"--Executive summary, p. [5].
