The speech Prime Minister Sir Wilfrid Laurier delivered in 1904 made a bold statement in which he stated all citizens of Canada should be united and treated fairly.

Natives still fought for Canada and continue to do so, they helped in many cases as well, another one of them is the separation of Quebec in which they disagreed to be parted from the rest of Canada showing that they still want to be a part of Canada even though they have been treated poorly.
