Treaty Indian

Canadian member of a First Nations band that signed a Numbered Treaty

In Canada, a treaty Indian (French: Indien des traités) is an Indian who belongs to a band that is party to one of the eleven Numbered Treaties signed by Canada with various First Nations between 1871 and 1922.[1] It contrasts with Indians whose bands are not party to a treaty (primarily in British Columbia) and with "non-status Indians", that is, people of Indian heritage who are not recognized legally as Indians.
