We have to remember that there was a big difference between the treaties themselves and the paper documents that European-Americans used to record those treaties. For many Native Americans, a treaty was an oral agreement between governments. It was methodically memorized and often sealed with an exchange of gifts. In the eastern part of North America, wampum belts (which were shells strung together to create images) served as official records of these treaties, and were draped over a speaker's body when the treaty was being recited later on, much as Europeans might read aloud the text of a written agreement between two European countries.

For Natives, the oral agreement, along with these wampum belts, WERE the treaty, and the paper document they signed was just some odd European habit that they often simply tolerated. Many of the Native leaders who signed these treaties could not read what they were signing, and even if they could they did not recognize the documents as being the official record of what was agreed on.

What are 2 different beliefs of the democratic and the republican parties today
iogann1982 [59]
There are many differences in beliefs between the two parties,, but the main two are the following:
Democratic:
Supports programs to help immigrants gain citizenship (against the wall and ICE)
Believes that less money should be put into the military and more into education
Republican:
Against immigration,, even if against immigrants who have no criminal record (supports the wall and ICE)
Believes that there's enough money being put into education and more should be put into the military
there are more differences if you happen to need more,, but those are some of two main ones that are being fought about today. other big ones that are fought about are abortion, taxes, gay marriage,, and gun control,, and if you need any information about the beliefs between the parties on those topics let me know and ill gladly help you out with that.
let me know if you have any further questions
