Anishinabe and Treaties with JT Shining Oneside

We have treaties today because of the lands that we once had and I know for the Anishinabe we moved we move from up around main area all the way down towards the eastern sea board we moved and they said when we left there we move we numbered in the stars as we were moving and then we came to these different stopping areas that we stopped at and different bands and groups of Anishinabe would go to these different places and then eventually as the government united states government started formulating itself dated created the Department of Interior that was created as like a department award Department and who was the War Department against they were against American Indian people that were here and in that way and I could see it being chaos because once they came to meet with the and that way of life was real slow back then when once they came to meet and they would have they would sit and they would smoke a pipe with the native people they would sign documents you know talk about things you know do the treaties and everything on their way back to Washington with their documents well then this is when they encroachment started to happen things would start happening on both sides and then new treaties were happened to being made again so and it’s important to remember the treaties though because those are part of the things that make us you know who we are today and help us to know what our rights are as First Nations people is American Indian people so that we can continue to have a place you know for our people you know that they can be a part of and be able to have their tribal policies and then you know they’re in a vent you know eventually sovereignty
