An Entity of Type: organisation, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org:8891

Treaty 7 is an agreement between the Crown and several, mainly Blackfoot, First Nation band governments in what is today the southern portion of Alberta. The idea of developing treaties for Blackfoot lands was brought to Blackfoot chief Crowfoot by John McDougall in 1875. It was concluded on September 22nd, 1877 and December 4th, 1877. The agreement was signed at the Blackfoot Crossing of the Bow River, at the present-day Siksika Nation reserve, approximately 75 km (47 mi) east of Calgary, Alberta. Chief Crowfoot was one of the signatories to Treaty 7. Another signing on this treaty occurred on December 4, 1877 to accommodate some Blackfoot leaders who were not present at the primary September 1877 signing.

  • Le Traité numéro 7 (Traité no 7) est le septième et dernier accord conclu entre le gouvernement du Canada et les tribus amérindiennes de la Terre de Rupert, à la suite de l'acquisition de ces territoires par la Confédération canadienne en 1870. Signé le 22 septembre 1877 à Blackfoot Crossing par les commissaires et et des chefs de tribus du Sud de l'actuelle province d'Alberta (Siksikas, Gens-du-sang, Pikunis, Tsuu T'ina, Stoneys et Assiniboines), il établit pour chaque tribu les territoires qui leur sont réservés et le versement ponctuel ou périodique de marchandises et de sommes d'argent, en échange de la cession des territoires de chasse dont ils étaient propriétaires et de la reconnaissance des lois du gouvernement du Canada.

Treaty 7 is one of eleven Numbered Treaties signed between First Nations and the Crown between 1871 and 1921. The treaty established a delimited area of land for the tribes (a reserve), promised annual payments, provisions, or both, from the Crown to the tribes and promised continued hunting and trapping rights on the "tract surrendered". In exchange, the tribes ceded their rights to their traditional territory, of which they had earlier been recognized as the owners. Britain had transferred whatever jurisdiction over "Indians and lands reserved for the Indians" it may have had to the Province of Canada in the 1840s. This authority devolved to the government of Canada at Confederation in 1867 and applied to the area of the North-Western Territory (NWT) and Rupert's Land that came into Confederation in 1870, including the part that became Alberta in 1905. The British government, in an exchange of letters at the time of the transfer of the NWT, sought assurances that Canada would provide the Crown's obligation to First Nations. (en)
