  Royal Proclamation of 1763
King George's Proclamation became a key legal instrument for the establishment of colonial governments in the PROVINCE OF QUEBEC, E Florida, W Florida and Grenada.
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.
The Royal Proclamation tends to come under close scrutiny whenever there is cause to examine the legal character of aboriginal land title.

  Royal Proclamation of 1763 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Royal Proclamation of 1763 was issued October 7, 1763 by the British government in the name of King George III to prohibit settlement by colonists beyond the Appalachian Mountains in the lands captured by Britain from France in the French and Indian War/Seven Years' War and to end exploitative purchases of American Indian land.
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.
After the American Revolutionary War, the Royal Proclamation of 1763 became a dead letter in the United States, but continued to govern the cession of aboriginal land in British North America, especially Upper Canada and Rupert's Land.

 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.
In the St Catharine's Milling case, for example, which became in 1889 the vehicle for the settling of a constitutional dispute between the governments of Ontario and the young Dominion, lawyers for the former argued that the Royal Proclamation was of no force in the legal elaboration of Indian rights.

 Canada in the Making - Aboriginals: Treaties & Relations
The Royal Proclamation hints at the reason: it notes that British interests were, prior to 1763, responsible for "great fraud and abuses" in obtaining land from Aboriginals that had caused the latter "great dissatisfaction".
Thus, they ensured that any future negotiation with the Aboriginals was to be in done in public by representatives of the British crown, and that the final results of such negotiations would be recorded in written treaties.
This act was an extension of the Royal Proclamation meant to push Québec's boundaries into Aboriginal land located past the Great Lakes into the Ohio and Mississippi River valleys.

 American Revolution - Proclamation of 1763, The Royal Proclamation - October 7, 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.
Early treaties between Indian Nations and colonial governors were usually resolutions of "peace and friendship." From approximately the nineteenth century, these arrangements typically involved an Indian tribe ceding land to the Crown and, in return, the Crown promising the Indians reserves of land as well as special rights in areas such as hunting and fishing.
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.

It is also obvious from the bizarre sight of the reactivation of the counter-revolutionary storm troopers (Mandale-Kundale), who were driven to their graveyards by the mass movement of 1990, right after the royal proclamation.
In this situation, the tendency of justifying this regressive royal action or participating in the royal puppet cabinet in one or the other pretext, will not only go against the entire values and tradition of democracy but will also be a grave betrayal and deception against the country and the people.
And to exploit and divert the attention of the masses and the industrialists-traders who are panicked by the economic stagnation, corruption etc. and to fulfill their self-interest, the feudal autocrats have parroted the slogans of so-called 'clean image' and started the stale drama of anti-corruption campaign.

 Royal Proclamation (1763) - Readings - Quebec History
The Royal Proclamation was the first constitution granted to Quebec by the British Government following the Treaty of Paris of 1763.
The Royal Proclamation, by abolishing French civil laws, put the seigneurial system in jeopardy and eliminated the legal requirement to pay the tithe to the Roman Catholic Church; two important social institutions of Quebec were thus threatened.
Essentially, what was wrong with the Royal Proclamation was that it was designed for a ‘British’ colony when in fact it was, and was to remain, one peopled by the Canadiens.

 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.

PG NOTE: The proclamation forbids governors of English colonies from giving land grants of lands that Indians have reserved to themselves by various English treaties.
Before any license to purcvhase any land is granted, the local governors are supposed to check with the Crown and see if those lands may be sold or are reserved to the Indians.
This proclamation was drafted after the conclusion of the French wars (Articles of Capitulation were signed at Quebec in 1759), and is clearly an attempt to hold or gain the loyalty of Indians in case the French keep trying.
