Between 1871 and 1877, the federal government and First Nation peoples in western Canada signed seven treaties(Treaties 1 to 7). These treaties, which established reserves and promised First Nation peoples traditional hunting and fishing rights, were essentially viewed by the federal government as documents that set out the terms by which it purchased First Nation lands.  2, record 1, English, - traditional%20hunting%20and%20fishing%20rights

De 1871 à 1877, le gouvernement fédéral conclut sept traités (Traités nº 1 à 7) avec les peuples des Premières Nations de l’Ouest du Canada. Par ces traités, qui établissaient les réserves et promettaient les droits traditionnels de chasse et de pêche aux peuples des Premières Nations, le gouvernement fédéral considérait essentiellement qu’il s’agissait de documents précisant les termes de son achat de terres des Premières Nations.  2, record 1, French, - droits%20traditionnels%20de%20chasse%20et%20de%20p%C3%AAche

The term "peace treaty" usually refers to a treaty between belligerents ending a war, through sometimes it refers to a treaty to prevent future wars. The two concepts are often combined, because in treaties ending wars, the parties have often pledged themselves to "perpetual peace". The terms of such treaties, however, are often so onerous that they stimulate the defeated state, which has signed under duress, to renew hostilities when the opportunity arises.  2, record 6, English, - peace%20treaty
