The legal instrument that Canada uses to abide by these treaties signed in Peace with  Indigenous Nations is through the Indian Act, which in itself was written as if it were a Terms of Surrender after a war. Clearly there was no war of conquest in Canada. 

That contradiction of highest laws guaranteed in 1982 Constitution Act and with Indian Act policies administered by fleeting elected sitting governments, has led to long drawn out legal battles. The Supreme Court of Canada has consistently held Canada to its higher true and peaceful destiny with Indigenous Nations rather than siding with aggressive sitting governments bent on assimilation and termination policies. 

Even today this Trudeau government seeks to avoid accountability to these higher laws and basic Canadian ideals in his petition to Quash the findings and instructions of the Canadian Human Right Tribunal. His government acts with belligerence while it is the children of Indigenous Nations that continue to do the dying.
