Research by Dr. Alexander von Gernet suggests Crown increased annuities to four dollars per capita in 1875 at a time when Robinson treaty territories were realizing financial losses
An anthropologist testifying on behalf of Canada in the Robinson Superior Treaty annuities trial says the last increase to treaty payments made nearly 150 years ago happened despite financial losses occurring in the territory at the time.
Robinson Huron Treaty territory, meanwhile, reflected a net loss of more than $2,300 in the same 27-year period, with revenues only exceeding expenditures in six of those years. The four-dollar treaty annuity hasn’t been increased since then, which is why signatories to both Robinson Superior and Robinson Huron treaties have been battling the federal and provincial governments in Ontario Superior Court for years.
The third stage of the Robinson Superior Treaty annuities trial, which will determine the amount of compensation owed and which level of government is responsible for paying it, is currently being heard in Ontario Superior Court.
