Were the Douglas Treaties and the Numbered Treaties Fairly Negotiated?
Step 5: Analyze the documents
Distribute three or four copies of the activity sheet, #3 Evidence of Fairness, to each member of each team. Encourage each team to collectively analyze their assigned documents, but to ensure that each team member keeps an individual record on the activity sheet of each analysis. Remind students to consider the criteria for fair bargaining discussed earlier when looking for evidence in their assigned documents about the fairness of the treaty negotiations.
