Nothing Will Be Different by Tara McGowan-Ross

A treaty is a formal, legally binding document that is usually made between sovereign states or political bodies. In Nothing Will Be Different, the word treaty is used in relation to the author herself, as she imagines a “different version of [herself] … not protected by treaty” (42). The effect of this usage is a tethering of the body and self to political bodies and the nation. In the context of Canadian history, particularly, the word treaty signifies the coercion of Indigenous land rights by the British and French.
