Asked by bob

The inability of many Indigenous leaders to read or write English posed a significant problem when signing treaty documents because they often did not fully understand the terms and implications of what they were agreeing to. This lack of comprehension made it easier for the government to exploit misunderstandings and manipulate agreements, leading to unfair treaties that did not reflect the true intentions or needs of Indigenous communities. As a result, these treaties often resulted in loss of land, rights, and resources for Indigenous peoples.
