Classification and Effect

This record is classified as Indigenous Bilateral. Every instrument is listed under the title written on the document itself. Classification describes the character of the instrument; it never replaces, shortens, or restates the original title.

Recognition between Indigenous signatories is recognition between those parties. It is real, and it is binding upon them according to their own governance and protocol. It does not automatically constitute recognition by Canada, the United States, New Zealand, France, Chile, the United Nations, or any other third-party state or intergovernmental organisation, none of which is a party to these instruments.
