Treaties [Mi'kmaq Rights Initiative, KMK]

1725-1726: One of the first treaties between the Mi'kmaq and the European settlers was negotiated by the Penobscot in Boston on our behalf in 1725. This treaty, between the British, Mi'kmaq and Maliseet, was then ratified by many of the Mi'kmaq and Maliseet villages at Annapolis Royal in 1726. It was the first of what are now known as treaties of peace and friendship with the British Crown in the Maritime Provinces.
