In Canada, the strongest form of national security is not found in military might or political alliances — it is found in the original treaties between Indigenous Nations and the Crown.
Treaties are not just legal tools or historical footnotes — they are the moral and constitutional foundation of Canada itself. They were made between sovereign Nations, built on ceremony, sacred responsibilities, and shared intent.
These agreements allowed settlers to live on Indigenous lands under the condition of peaceful coexistence and mutual respect. Without these treaties, there would be no lawful basis for Canada’s presence across much of Turtle Island.
