Question: 1 / 1030

When were Territorial rights first guaranteed?

1763 in the Royal Proclamation by King George III

Territorial rights for Indigenous peoples were first guaranteed in 1763 by King George III in the Royal Proclamation. This declaration is crucial because it recognized the land rights of Indigenous peoples and established protocols for European settlers to obtain permission and negotiate treaties with First Nations. Option B is incorrect because the American Revolution was not directly related to territorial rights in Canada. Option C is incorrect because the Canadian Confederation did not guarantee territorial rights for Indigenous peoples, although it led to increased pressure for treaties and land claims. Option D is incorrect because the Commonwealth Act, also known as the Statute of Westminster, primarily dealt with the relationship between Canada and the British Empire and did not address territorial rights for Indigenous peoples.
