The Indigenous peoples claim they accepted Treaty 6 because they were informed that the Crown did not want to buy their land, but instead borrow it

Uh huh. For how long? How do you ask for it back? When you get the land back do all the other treaty provisions end?

Although there were three interpreters presents at the negotiations for Treaty 6, two from the Crown and one from the Indigenous peoples, direct translation of words between English and Cree was not possible. Certain words in either language did not have a corresponding word in the opposite language.

Uh huh. You "didn't have a word for that." What? "Purchase?" coughbullshitcough Well. You signed it. We improved it. You're fucked.
