211 Words1 Page

This was primarily used to discuss issues about how the CPR was being built on their land. The natives believed that their land was sacred. They did not want to give it away, they believed that the great mother of everything gave them that land. When the settlers came to Canada the Natives wanted to share the land with these newcomers, but that didn’t end well. The natives never owned, or sold their land, resulting in the settlers to move them

    12) Jays Treaty was named after a man named John Jay. The British were seizing US ships and Washington sent Jay over to make the British stop. However, Jay returned with a “not so perfect” treaty. The treaty accepted Britain’s right to stop neutral ships, required the US to make “full and complete compensation” to the prerevolutionary war debts, allowed Americans to submit claims for illegal seizers, and required the British to remove their troops and Indian agents from the Northwest Territory. The stopping of the neutral war ships were the most unsatisfactory because it meant that they now had a trading alliance with Britain.

    The city of Seattle was a very different place, before European settlers had made contact with the Native people of the region; the Duwamish tribe. Native people have been known to have inhabited the city from over four thousand years ago. However, the population of Native people in the region began to deteriorate as soon as European settlers first made contact with the local people. Although this was due to a combination of different reasons, in this research paper I will look at one such key event which I believe was crucial to the disappearance of Native people in Seattle; the signing of the Treaty of Point Elliott. Before understanding the impact that the treaty had on the indigenous people of the region it is important to gain an understanding
