In order to determine if the Crown failed to fulfill the obligations of Treaty 7, the following issues must be considered: 1) Treaty Implementation and Interpretation: What are the obligations of Treaty 7? Were they upheld throughout the implementation of the treaty? a) Words: What are the treaty obligations as determined by the written text of the treaty? i) Substantive Breach: Was there a breach of the written obligations of the treaty regarding the creation of IR 147? b) Historical Context: Does the context of the negotiations clarify the intentions and expectations of the parties? ii) Procedural Breach: When the Crown created IR 147, was there a procedural breach in the fulfillment of Treaty 7 obligations that would result in the …show more content…
i) Substantive Breach: If the reserve was properly created in accordance with the text of the treaty there may not be a breach in the Crown’s obligations. To create a reserve in accordance with the Indian Act, the Supreme Court of Canada set out the requirements in the Ross River Deana Council decision. These requirements, as applied by Wewaykum Indian Band v. Canada, include “an act by the Crown to set apart Crown land for use of an Indian band combined with an intention to create a reserve on the part of persons having authority to bind the Crown and practical steps by the Crown and the Indian band to realize that intention.” The Crown set apart land to create a reserve when the Indian Agent appointed a surveyor to survey land according to the entitlements in Treaty 7. The Redfoot Nation realized these intentions when they were vocal regarding their dissatisfaction on the location of the land, however practical steps were also taken by the Crown when the Superintendent General of Indian Affairs moved the Redfoot to the surveyed lands for their use as a reserve. Therefore, it appears that the Crown fulfilled the requirements and, as a result, the reserve identified as IR 147 was properly created, fulfilling the substantive duties of the fulfillment of Treaty 7 to establish a reserve in southern Alberta. b) Historical Context It appears that the Crown and the

Treaty Seven was a Treaty made to unite First Nations and Canadians. It was signed by the First nations living mainly in southern Alberta. My first point is broken promises and lies. Treaty seven made promises that were fulfilled and also made ones that were not. An example of this, was the $2000 a year for ammunition that the Canadian government promised to give but, for years they didn't give a penny. Treaty seven promised reserve land, cows according to family size and position in society, farming tools for

Firstly, we will consider the customary character of the introductory phase and sub-paragraph (a) of paragraph 1. The customary character of the introductory phase and sub para 1 (a) was never in question, both State practice and opinion juris clearly show that these initiatives had a lege ferenda character. Furthermore, subsequent practice also confirmed the customary character of the provision. However, with regard to the customary character of paragraph 1 (b) and 2 there exist several controversies. It was only introduced at the last moment, as an amendment by the UK and had been adopted by a very narrow margin. Paragraph 1 (b) of Article 56 states that certain treaties by their “nature” contain implied denunciation clauses but it does indicate which those treaties are. As a result, in order to identify these categories of treaties which is the raison d’etre, of subpara. 1(b), one turns to custom. Hence, the existence is customary law of a single category of treaties of this nature would suffice to show the customary character of 1(b). Therefore, Article 56(1) does show customary character of

Below is a summary of our conclusions and authoritative reasoning for each of the provisions:
A fundamental change of circumstances must have been unforeseen; the existence of the circumstances at the time of the Treaty's conclusion must have constituted an essential basis of the consent of the parties to be bound by the Treaty. The negative and conditional wording of Article 62 of the Vienna Convention on the Law of Treaties is a clear indication moreover that the stability of treaty relations requires that the plea of fundamental change of circumstances be applied only in exceptional cases".
