What is the treaty called?

The peace and friendship treaty. By Gabrielle.

What area does the treaty cover?

The peace and friendship treaties were signed between  

the Mi'kmaq, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy First Nations. 

When did this treaty take place?

This treaty took place over the course of 1752 and 1779.

How is this treaty impacting Indigenous peoples and settlers today?

The treaty signed in 1779 was set up so that the Mi'kmaq and Maliseet First Nations could continue to have treaty rights to hunt, fish and gather. The original treaty, however, did not include surrendering the lands and resources. This impact indigenous peoples because they didn't give consent for the government to take their land and the settlers are living on it. 

How are we all treaty people?

We are all treaty people because the land we live on belongs to the indigenous people as treaties and agreements were signed in the past that remain in effect till today.
