Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
The purpose of the Niagara Treaty 250 years ago was to transfer ownership of the land to the Crown through the surrendering of claims on lands by First Nations peoples, a process that led directly to the reserve system as more and more Europeans filled present-day central Canada and wanted to take up these lands for agriculture and other purposes and some of the land transferred to the Crown was given back to the First Nations to form the reserves. This treaty signaled the assembled Indigenous Nations ratification of the Royal Proclamation of 1763 and extended the Silver Covenant Chain of Friendship into the Great Lakes Region of the continent. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 established the British definition of Indian Country.
