Royal Proclamation of 1763
- One of the most influential documents in Canada's history is the Royal Proclamation of 1763, which was monumental in the Crown's relationship with both Great Britain and First Nations peoples.
- This document was the first to recognize the rights of First Nations peoples (for land and hunting) and created the process for treaty-making that is still used today.
