First Nations did not "sell" their land in the conventional sense; rather, they often entered into treaties with colonial governments, which were frequently misunderstood or not honored. Many agreements were made under pressure, with promises of goods, services, or compensation that were not fulfilled. The concept of land ownership differed significantly between Indigenous peoples and European settlers, leading to conflicts and dispossession. Overall, the process was marked by coercion, manipulation, and a lack of understanding of Indigenous rights and governance.
