Peace and Friendship Treaties
  • This document outlines the details of the Peace and Friendship Treaties, which took place throughout the 1700's and were signed with the Mi'kmaq, Maliseet and Passamaquoddy (who were residents of what is now called the Maritimes and Gaspé) groups to encourage a more civil relationship between the British and the First Nations.
  • This document includes details of the various types of Peace and Friendship Treaties, how they differ from other treaties in Canada, how these treaties have resurfaced in recent years, and how the treaties are affected when a new agreement is negotiated.
