Understanding Treaties - Dr. Sherry Johnson & Dr. Nadine Eastman - OSEU #6
Watch this interview on YouTubeOur students need to know what a treaty is, really talk about the impacts of it. How did it come about? What rights? There are historical rights, and what rights are still guaranteed now? And what are the pros and cons of that?
They also need to understand what a sovereign nation is. What are those terms? And the difference in government. We have a whole different structure, and even though part of our government parallels our government of our oppressors, that they still need to understand the traditions or the history of how that came to be.
And so we need to educate. We need people to learn that, or understand rather, not learn, but understand what that means to be a sovereign nation, to have a treaty, and what are the differences.

Understanding Treaties
Understanding Treaties - Dr. Sherry Johnson & Dr.
Nadine Eastman - OSEU #6
Our students need to know what a treaty is, really talk about the impacts of it. How did it
come about? What rights? There are historical rights, and what rights are still
guaranteed now? And what are the pros and cons of that?
They also need to understand what a sovereign nation is. What are those terms? And
the difference in government. We have a whole different structure, and even though part
of our government parallels our government of our oppressors, that they still need to
understand the traditions or the history of how that came to be.
And so we need to educate. We need people to learn that, or understand rather, not
learn, but understand what that means to be a sovereign nation, to have a treaty, and
what are the differences.
