Fort Ann Nova Scotia From 1871-1877 and 1899-1921 eleven treaties were signed between the crown and the First Nations, the Treaties layed out a deal to transfer large tracts of land from the First Nations to the Crown in return for different promises laid out in the treaty. Some of the Key representatives of the Canadian Crown were Adams George Archibald, Alexander Morris, David Laird, Duncan Campbell Scott and Wemyss Mackenzie Simpson. Today, these treaties are still upheld by the Government of Canada, administered by Canadian Aboriginal law and overseen by the Minister of Aboriginal Affairs and Northern Development.
