TREATY – THE SWEETEST DEAL TRIBES HAD EVER SEEN

Before the evil colonisers arrived, I suspect that there was no such thing as land ownership. Tribes could occupy any piece of land for as long as they could occupy and defend it. Any bigger or more powerful or better organised tribe that wanted it could take it from them. They could even enslave them or eat them.
As there were multiple tribes here, constantly in conflict, who owned the country? How do you own a country?
The Colonisers did what the tribes that were living here did to each other, except that they didn’t enslave them or eat them. They offered them the sweetest deal they had ever seen, called the Treaty.
