Treaty Indian

{{Short description|Canadian member of a First Nations band that signed a Numbered Treaty}}

In Canada, a Treaty Indian ({{langx|fr|Indien des traités}}) is an Indian who belongs to a band that is party to one of the eleven Numbered Treaties signed by Canada with various First Nations between 1871 and 1922.{{Cite web | url=http://www12.statcan.ca/english/census01/Products/Reference/dict/pop108.htm | title=Aboriginal: Registered or Treaty Indian | access-date=2024-07-24 | website=www12.statcan.ca}} It contrasts with Indians whose bands are not party to a treaty (primarily in British Columbia) and with "non-status Indians", that is, people of Indian heritage who are not recognized legally as Indians.
