Through this fresh perspective, he overturns assumptions about early First Nations - Crown relationships and demonstrates the relevance of the Covenant Chain to the current relationship. By examining the forms of expression contained in colonial documents, the Record of Indian Affairs, and related materials, Morito locates the values and moral commitments that underpinned the parties' strategies for negotiation and reconciliation. What becomes apparent is that these interactions developed an ethic of mutually recognized respect that was coherent and neither culturally nor historically bound. This ethic, Morito argues, remains relevant to current debates over Aboriginal and treaty rights as they pertain to the British Crown tradition. Real change is possible if the focus can be shifted from piecemeal legal and political disputes to the development of an intercultural ethic based on trust, respect, and solidarity."--Pub. desc. 606 $aIndians of North America$xGovernment relations$yTo 1789 606 $aIroquois Indians$xGovernment relations 615 0$aIndians of North America$xGovernment relations 615 0$aIroquois Indians$xGovernment relations. 676 $a970.00497 700 $aMorito$b Bruce$01507107 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910785555903321 996 $aAn ethic of mutual respect$93737578 997 $aUNINA
