Douglas Treaties (1850)

This is the Legislative Assembly of British Columbia's document on the 1850 Douglas Treaties, which are a set of treaties named after the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC) Chief Factor James Douglas.
The Douglas Treaties (or sometimes referred to as the Fort Victoria Treaties or Vancouver Island Treaties) are comprised of 14 treaties, occurring between 1850–1854, that were made with the First Nations peoples living on Vancouver Island for land in exchange for goods and land usage rights.
The Douglas Treaties still remain a benchmark for court proceedings with regards to hunting and fishing rights in Victoria, British Columbia as there is still much dispute on whether the treaties were a permanent deal or an agreement that should be reviewed.

The Numbered Treaties (1871-1921)

During the time when the Dominion of Canada was forming and expanding a series of treaties, called the Numbered Treaties, were made between the Crown and First Nations between from 1871–1921 and covered land between the Lake of the Woods, the Rocky Mountains, and the Beaufort Sea.
The treaties were made to give land to the Crown in exchange for payments, hunting/fishing tools, and other valuables.
As some promises of these treaties were made orally and on paper, the legacy of the Numbered treaties continue to cause legal disputes and socioeconomic hardships for Indigenous communities today.
