This is monstrous. Reminds me of a certain Native Canadian book...

If you haven't already, I would recommend you check out Daniel N. Paul's We Were Not the Savages. It talks a lot about the history of the colonization in the Maritimes, and explains in layman's term a lot of the heavily formalized language that can be found in the treaties and policies. The book is much more interesting than anything else I've discovered on the subject, and I appreciate that Danny Paul himself is a Mi'kmaq elder in Nova Scotia. He carefully takes into account the historical research that has been done before him, and compares that to the information which has been passed down to him, in essence filtering a lot of historical misrepresentations by White Europeans to achieve a true understanding of the past.
