	Royal Proclamation of 1763 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The purpose of the proclamation was to organize Britain's vast new North American empire, and to stabilize relations with North American Indians through regulation of trade, settlement, and land purchases on the western frontier.
		One of the biggest problems confronting the British Empire in 1763 was maintaining peace with North American Indians who lived on the land acquired from France in the Treaty of Paris.
		An even bigger affront to the British colonies was the establishment of both civil and criminal courts complete with the right to appeal--but those charged with violating the Stamp or Sugar Act were to be tried in admiralty court, where the defendant was considered guilty until he or she could prove his or her innocence.

	Royal Proclamation of 1763
		The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was issued by King George III to establish a basis of government administration in the N American territories formally ceded by France to Britain in the Treaty of PARIS, 1763, following the SEVEN YEARS' WAR.
		The Royal Proclamation thereby established the British Crown as the essential central agent in the transfer of Indian lands to colonial settlers.
		Although these regions had been specifically designated in 1763 as outside the jurisdictional framework put in place by the Royal Proclamation, Canadian government officials recognized that the native peoples of the newly annexed territory had the same rights to their unceded ancestral lands as Indians in the UC area prior to the negotiation of treaties.

	Province of Quebec (1763-1791) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		By the British Royal Proclamation of 1763, Canada (part of New France) was renamed the Province of Quebec.
		In 1774, the British Parliament passed the Quebec Act that allowed Quebec to maintain the French Civil Code as its judicial system and sanctioned the freedom of religious choice, allowing the Roman Catholic Church to remain.
		Through Quebec, the British Crown retained access to the Ohio and Illinois Countries even after the Treaty of Paris (1783), which was meant to have ceded this land to the United States.

		The proclamation established requirements that had to be met before aboriginal land could be purchased, including one that the purchase must be approved by a meeting of all members of the people selling the land.
		Thus, the boundary line established by the proclamation (often called the proclamation line) was not intended to be a permanent boundary between white and Indian lands (as is sometimes believed), but rather a temporary boundary which could be extended further west in an orderly, lawful manner.
		The proclamation line was adjusted in the Treaty of Fort Stanwix of 1768.

	Proclamation of 1763
		The King and his council presented the proclamation as a measure to calm the fears of the Indians, who felt that the colonists would drive them from their lands as they expanded westward.
		The proclamation provided that all lands west of the heads of all rivers which flowed into the Atlantic Ocean from the west or northwest were off-limits to the colonists.
		The British ministry would argue that these outposts were for colonial defense, and as such should be paid for by the colonies.

		The Proclamation's terms did not apply to the settled colonies or to Rupert's Land.
		To the extent that it applies, however, the proclamation's recognition of Indian ownership of the land that they occupy is one of the most important arguments First Nations have made in their land-claims disputes with the government.

	Historical Documents - The Proclamation of 1763
		Although treaties between the Indians and the colonial officials were reached prior to the Royal Proclamation of 1763, the latter served as a model for the establishment of such arrangements.
		In the Proclamation of 1763, King George III of England declared a British system of governing in the areas that had been surrendered by France, and pronounced that the Indians and their lands would be treated with respect.
		There are several transcribed copies of both the October 7, 1763, document proclaimed by the King in England and the one later pronounced by the Superintendent of Indian Affairs, Sir William Johnson, in North America on December 24, 1763; the National Archives also has a negative photostat of this latter document.

	Proclamation of 1763
		In the fall of 1763, a royal decree was issued that prohibited the North American colonists from establishing or maintaining settlements west of an imaginary line running down the crest of the Appalachian Mountains.
		The first priority of British trade officials was to populate the recently secured areas of Canada and Florida (see Treaty of Paris), where colonists could reasonably be expected to trade with the mother country; settlers living west of the Appalachians would be highly self-sufficient and have little opportunity to trade with English merchants.
		The Proclamation of 1763 was a well-intentioned measure.

	REGINA v. DERRIKSAN
		Counsel for the appellant's argument is based on the premise that the Indian tribes of British Columbia acquired aboriginal title to the lands which the various tribes used and occupied for generations in the past and that one attribute of that aboriginal title is the right to hunt and fish on tribal lands.
		The wording of the Proclamation indicated that it was intended to include the lands west of the Rocky Mountains.
		Although I think that it is clear that Indian title in British Columbia cannot owe its origin to the Proclamation of 1763, the fact is that when the settlers came, the Indians were there, organized in societies and occupying the lands as their forefathers had done for centuries.

		In this regard, the members of the court are unanimous in holding that the Proclamation did not in 1763, and never did thereafter, apply to the area of territory inhabited by the Indians in question.
		In 1763 the existence of that territory was unknown to the British Crown, for how far to the westward and the north the land mass of North America extended had not been determined.
		It had not then been discovered by the British and, not having been discovered, it could not be said it was claimed by and was part of the dominions and territories of the British Crown.

		But many Indian nations tried to stay out of the conflict, some sided with the Americans, and those who fought with the British were not the king's pawns: they allied with the Crown as the best hope of protecting their homelands from the encroachments of American colonists and land speculators.
		The British government had afforded Indian lands a measure of protection by the Royal Proclamation of 1763 which had attempted to restrict colonial expansion beyond the Appalachian Mountains, and had alienated many American colonists.
		Indians fought in the Revolution for Indian liberties and Indian homelands, not for the British empire.

		In the Proclamation of 1763, it announced its intention of conciliating those disgruntled tribes by recognizing their land rights, by securing to them control of unceded land, and by entering into a nation-to-nation relationship" [13].
		Following the consolidation of the "13 British colonies along the North Atlantic, and armed with a pre-imperialist thrust (the Monroe Doctrine and the ideology of `manifest destiny'), the entrepreneurs controlling the new state machinery dispatched their military forces rapidly across North America" [30].
		Indeed, the Confederation of Canada in the British North America Act of 1867 was aimed primarily at consolidating the then-existing eastern provinces and facilitating in this westward expansion; the primary instruments seen as a trans-Canada railway, telegraph lines, and roads.
