MNN. LAND GIVERS VS. CORPORATE DEMOLISHERS. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 is a British order-in-council issued by King George III to establish the basis for relations with indigenous peoples on onowarekeh turtle island. All lands were to be retained by the indigenous and the settlers were to be restricted. The king of England bankrolled the colonial encroachment backed with military force. It was to be the framework for relations between the king’s colonial settlers and the indigenous peoples. This agreement is the foundation of Canada’s responsibilities for all of the Canadian and US colonial settlers. This is the framework for true reconciliation. Canada is still a colony of Britain and its relationship with the indigenous is based on the Royal Proclamation 1763.
