STUDENT REFERENCE
The Big Picture (要約): In 1760, the British Crown and the Mi'kmaq agreed to live in peace and share trade. The Mi'kmaq never surrendered or sold their land (Unceded land). In 1999 (R. v. Marshall), Canada's Supreme Court ruled that these 1760 promises are still active constitutional law today.
1760年に結ばれた条約は「平和と交易」の約束であり、ミクマク先住民は土地を決して売り渡していません(不割譲地)。1999年の最高裁判所の判決により、この条約は今も生きている最高法規であることが確認されました。
