- Reserve lands: First Nations peoples were promised reserve lands, which would be set aside for their exclusive use. These reserves were to be protected by the government and could not be sold or transferred without the consent of the First Nation.
- Hunting and fishing rights: First Nations peoples were promised the right to hunt, fish, and trap on their traditional lands, even if these lands were no longer part of their reserve. These rights were essential for the survival of First Nations communities, which relied on hunting and fishing for food and other resources.
- Education and healthcare: First Nations peoples were promised access to education and healthcare services that were equal to those provided to other Canadians. This included the establishment of schools, hospitals, and other health facilities on reserves.
- Self-government: First Nations peoples were promised the right to self-government, which would allow them to make decisions about their own communities and affairs. This included the establishment of First Nations governments, courts, and other institutions.
However, many of these promises were not kept, and First Nations peoples continue to face significant challenges in terms of land rights, education, healthcare, and self-government.
