Translations of Vancouver Island treaties

MS-3320
Series
2017

Part of Archives discrete item collection

The series consists of three documents relating to MS-0772 Register of land purchases from Indians. The agreements recorded in the register are referred to as the Vancouver Island treaties (formerly known as the Douglas or Fort Victoria treaties). In February 2017 a conference was held at the Songhees Wellness Centre, inviting Indigenous and non-Indigenous islanders to discuss the treaties, their history, and their present-day impact.

The conference commissioned the first translations of two of the treaties into Lekwungen by Songhees Elder Dr. Elmer George, and a cultural interpretation of the treaties in SENĆOŦEN by STOLȻEŁ, Tsartlip Elder John Elliot Sr. The Lekwungen translations are of the če’q’nein nəč’elŋxʷ- kʷ’ats’ayč iʔ xpeʔ kʷəliq̌a (Chekonein treaty) and the Teechamitsa treaty.

Dr. Elmer George and John Elliot Sr. were awarded the Meritorious Service Award by the Governor General of Canada in recognition of this work.

Signatures of Participants of Final Meech Lake Conference

MS-3543
Item
Jun. 9, 1990

Part of Archives discrete item collection

The item is a framed piece of paper with the letterhead of the Prime Minister of Canada at the top. Underneath this are 11 signatures from the different provincial Premiers of Canada, including that of Prime Minister, Brian Mulroney. Underneath the document is a small plaque giving the title of the document. The signatures were collected at the Final Meech Lake Conference in Ottawa on June 9, 1990.

The Meech Lake Accord was an attempt to make amendments to the Constitution of Canada so that the province of Quebec would endorse the 1982 amendments to the Constitution. The Meech Lake Accord was born in 1987 out of the agreement to address Quebec's five constitutional demands before signing the 1982 constitutional amendments. The first meeting was held at Meech Lake, Quebec with all the First Ministers, and the deadline for all provinces to ratify the Meech Lake Accord was June 23, 1990. The final conference was held in Ottawa June 3-10, 1990. The Accord ultimately failed as all provinces were not able to ratify it by the deadline.
