 n anglais seulement)  The Royal Proclamation of 1763 is recognized as one 
 of Canada’s founding constitutional documents\, and is sometimes referred 
 to as a “Bill of Rights” for Indigenous people. Less well-known and recogn
 ized in Canadian classrooms and jurisprudence is a treaty entered into a y
 ear later\, in July and August 1764\, when about 2000 First Nations chiefs
  gathered at Fort Niagara to meet with British superintendent of Indian Af
 fairs\, Sir William Johnson.  The treaty of peace\, friendship and respect
  entered into at Niagara 250 years ago set out a framework for Indigenous 
 and British co-existence on Turtle Island\, as the British were brought wi
 thin the normative web of relationships already existing on Turtle Island.
  Included in the treaty negotiation was the reading of the text of the Pro
 clamation – but the negotiations and terms of the eventual treaty were ric
 her than the plain text of the document.  Come learn about the Treaty of N
 iagara and its implications for understanding the Royal Proclamation\, the
  development of present-day Canada\, and the Crown/First Nations relations
 hip.  The first speaker for the evening is Al Corbière from Manitoulin Isl
 and\, a carrier of a Niagara wampum replica\, who will explain the histori
 cal context in which the Treaty of Niagara was negotiated\, as well as the
  meaning and significance of wampum belts that embody the Treaty of Niagar
 a. The second speaker is Aaron Mills\, Trudeau and Vanier scholar and PhD 
 candidate at the University of Victoria\, who will discuss the significanc
 e of the Treaty of Niagara from the perspective of Anishinaabe law and con
 stitutionalism and its implication for Canadian constitutionalism.  The Ce
 ntre for Human Rights and Legal Pluralism and the Aboriginal Law Students’
  Association are proud to host this event as part of Indigenous Awareness 
 Week 2014\, in partnership with the Office of Social Equity and Diversity 
 in Education. They would like to thank all event supporters\, particularly

 butions that helped make this event possible.
