I have a feeling you'd be very surprised to learn what the "legalities" of conquest in the 1700s actually were.... In fact, aboriginal title has nothing to do with what you call "historical relativism" and everything to do with the legal consequences of annexation and conquest as they have been since well before the Royal Proclamation.
