Background

In 1850, the First Nations entered two treaties with Mr. William Robinson who was appointed by the crown to negotiate the territorial land which was located north shore of Lake Superior and lake north of Lake Huron. The Restoule decision is based off the context of two historic treaties that were signed on 1850 named as The Robinson Huron Treaty and the Robinson Superior Treaty

Robinson treaty included an immediate payment in compensation for the surrendered territory of the Anishinaabe of £4,000 to the “Chiefs and their Tribes” followed by annuity payments totaling £600 for the Huron Anishinaabe and £500 for the Superior Anishinaabe, which amounted to approximately $1.70 and $1.60 per capita respectively based on the population at the time. the treaties also included the unique clause, which was different  only of the amount of the annuity payment in consideration of the sum of two thousand pounds of good and lawful money of upper Canada to them in hand; and for the permanent annuity of five hundred pounds, the same to be paid and delivered to the said Chiefs and their Tribes.

On behalf of Her Majesty, who desires to deal liberally and justify all her subjects, promises and agrees that in case the territory hereby ceded by the parties of the second part shall at any future produce an amount which will enable  the government  without any loss to increase the annuity hereby secured to them, and in that case the same shall be augmented the amount paid to each individual shall not exceed the sum of one pound Provincial currency in any one year, or such further sum as Her Majesty may be graciously pleased to order (the “Augmentation Clause”)
