History of the Crown-Indigenous RelationshipThe relationship between the Crown and Indigenous peoples is the longest standing relationship on Canada’s history. This relationship began with the Royal Proclamation of 1763 – which represented the first formal recognition of the need to negotiate with Indigenous peoples on a nation-to-nation basis. Since that initial proclamation, other decisions and events went on to shape the relationship between Indigenous peoples and the Crown both positively and negatively.
