Take for example the Treaty of Easton, according to which Natives wouldn't fight on the French side but Anglos wouldn't build settlements beyond the Allegheny Mountains.
However, as soon as the war agains the French was won, the treaty was broken. Similarly, other 426 treaties with Amerindian peoples are currently stalled because whites broke them and don't care to renegotiate them.
Considering this, the presence of whites in the American continent is based on "might is right," not on "rule of law." Hence it is hypocritical to demand that other people follow the "rule of law" and respect the illegal frontiers established by whites through the use of force.
For a short description of some treaties in the USA:

Many more apply to Canada and white-ruled Latin American countries. In short, this continent has been stolen and kept through "might is right," not through legality.
