For an example of the crucial role played by treaties and obligations in the lives of non-modern peoples, I recommend Michael Asch’s beautiful book On Being Here to Stay: Treaties and Aboriginal Rights in Canada (University of Toronto Press, 2014).

Minorities here must be understood in the sense developed by Deleuze and Guattari (A Thousand Plateaus, 291), as a process of becoming that makes them diverge from the anonymous norm of the majority.
