    Land Cession

    A land cession is a transfer of land from one party to another through a deed of sale or surrender. Land cessions may also be referred to as land surrenders and land purchases. In Canada and the United States, Indigenous land cessions generally took place through negotiated treaties. There are cases, however, where Indigenous peoples claim that lands were taken unjustly. The Royal Proclamation of 1763 established the protocols for land cession in both Canada and the United States.

    Legume

    Leguminosae, or Fabaceae, is the third-largest family of flowering plants, containing up to 650 genera and 18,000 species. Over 4,000 species are native to North America, most of which are members of the bean subfamily. They occur as scattered, secondary components of native vegetation. Over 2,000 species of milk vetch (genus Astragalus) alone occur worldwide, more than 40 in Canada. Other common native legumes are lupines (Lupinus), vetches (Vicia), locoweed (Oxytropis) and vetchling (Lathyrus). Most legumes, in association with strains of the bacterium Rhizobium,"fix" part of their nitrogen requirement and improve soils as green manure. Legumes are also a staple in the diets of both animals and humans.
