On September 5, 1760, just prior to the capitulation of Montreal to British forces, Brigadier-General [[James Murray (British Army officer, born 1721)|James Murray]] signed a "Treaty of Peace and Friendship" with a Wendat chief then residing in the settlement of [[Wendake, Quebec|Lorette]].<ref>{{cite encyclopedia |last=Jaenen |first=Cornelius J. |title=Murray Treaty of Longueuil, 1760 |date=August 21, 2014 |encyclopedia=[[The Canadian Encyclopedia]] |publisher=[[Historica Canada]] |edition=online |url=https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/murray-treaty-of-longueuil-1760}}</ref> The text of the treaty reads as follows:

{{blockquote|
THESE are to certify that the CHIEF of the HURON tribe of Indians, having come to me in the name of His Nation, to submit to His BRITANNICK MAJESTY, and make Peace, has been received under my Protection, with his whole Tribe; and henceforth no English Officer or party is to molest, or interrupt them in returning to their Settlement at LORETTE; and they are received upon the same terms with the Canadians, being allowed the free Exercise of their Religion, their Customs, and Liberty of trading with the English: – recommending it to the Officers commanding the Posts, to treat them kindly.

Given under my hand at Longueuil, this 5th day of September 1760.

By the Genl's Command, JA. MURRAY.<br />
JOHN CONAN,<br /> 
Adjut. Genl.<ref>{{cite journal |title=The Murray-Huron Treaty of 1760 |journal=Native Studies Review |date=1990|volume=6|issue=2|page=131 |url=http://iportal.usask.ca/docs/Native_studies_review/v6/issue2/pp131.pdf}}</ref>

The treaty recognized the Huron (Wendat) as a distinct nation and guaranteed that the British would not interfere with the nation's internal affairs. In 1990, the Supreme Court of Canada, ruling in ''[[Konrad Sioui#R. v. Sioui|R v Sioui]]'', found that the Huron-British Treaty of 1760 was still valid and [[Monarchy of Canada and the Indigenous peoples of Canada|binding on the Canadian Crown]]. Accordingly, the exercise of Wendat religion, customs, and trade benefit from continuing [[Constitution of Canada|Canadian constitutional protection]] throughout the territory frequented by the tribe during the period the treaty was concluded.<ref>{{cite CanLII|litigants=R v Sioui|year=1990|court=scc|num=103|format=canlii|parallelcite=[1990] 1 SCR 1025|date=May 24, 1990|courtname=auto}}</ref>
