Peace and Friendship Treaties from 1701 were used by First Nations and non-First Nations to end hostilities and promote peaceful relations, without First Nations surrendering their lands. The Robinson Treaty of 1850 was signed between Ojibwa Chiefs and the Crown in Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario to agree on the Lake Superior region from Pigeon River to Batchawana Bay. In 1817, Thomas Selkirk established the Selkirk Treaty between the Cree and Chippewa nations to resolve their claims to parts of land near the Red River.
