"The Pre-1975 Treaties (Historic Treaties) dataset contains the geographic boundaries as well as basic attributes data of all signed agreements that were negotiated between 1725 and 1929. However, the Anglo-Huron Treaty (Murray Treaty), which is part of the Treaties of Peace and Neutrality, is not represented in this dataset because it has no geographic boundary. These boundaries represent the large areas of land that the First Nations gave up to the Crown in exchange for such things as reserve lands, benefits or promises. These boundaries are usually not surveyed but help to delineate the broad area defined within the treaty. The boundaries are composed of the sum of specific geographies such as lakes, rivers, townships, mountains, administrative boundaries or height of land as mentioned in the treaties transcript. These boundaries are estimated based on written descriptions and should be used for informational and representational purposes only.

The various treaties created between the Crown and the Aboriginal people, include: the Treaties of Peace and Neutrality, the Peace and Friendship Treaties, Upper Canada Land Surrenders, the Williams Treaties, the Robinson Treaties, the Douglas Treaties and the Numbered Treaties.

The Pre-1975 Treaties dataset is part of the Treaties and Aboriginal Agreements geospatial information.

The Treaties and Aboriginal Agreements geospatial information represent the geographic boundaries of the solemn agreements between the Crown and the Aboriginal people, and set out promises, obligations and benefits for both parties. The following datasets are also available:

1) The Post-1975 Treaties (Modern Treaties) dataset represents the areas of Canada where Aboriginal land rights and title have not been addressed by treaty or through other legal means.

2) The Aboriginal Agreements dataset represents established consultation processes and the Aboriginal groups that govern their internal affairs and assume greater responsibility and control over the decision making that affects their communities.

Data-sharing agreements with the INAC’s internal groups (Negotiations Central and Implementation branch) as well as the Department of Natural Resources Canada are in place to ensure that any update to the attributes data or geography is reflected in the Treaties and Aboriginal Agreements geospatial information.

This dataset is Indigenous and Northern Affairs Canada (INAC) primary source for Pre-1975 Treaties geographic boundaries on maps.

This dataset can also be viewed in the Aboriginal and Treaty Rights Information System (ATRIS). This web-based system provides access to information to inform governments, industry and other interested parties in determining their consultation obligations and in carrying out their consultation research."
