First Nations

Both Canadian and Australian had a period dark history that about the first nation, which is aboriginal people. In the 19s century and 20s century, the government established the residential school for the first nation’s children to learn the European culture. This decision has changed many aboriginal children’s whole life; it almost kill a few generation. It is clear to see it bring first nation’s people a huge damage. At the first, when European settlements immigrated to Canada, they thought…

What does the duty to consult look like? There’s no legal definition of what needs to happen to be able to call something consultation, so what does it look like in B.C. right now? Has it changed in the last 10 years? What do legal, political and Indigenous scholars say about the duty to consult? What I’ve heard from at least one chief in northern BC (part of Treaty 8) is that consultation is so inadequate, he feels it would be better not be in a Treaty. Because A) they don’t have resources to…

The general issue of the source is how the citizens are not the only ones who lost their country. Additionally, the source also addresses the issue of segregation Aboriginal people experienced from Canadian society and its civic nation. The source highlights how citizens are unable to recognize that Aboriginal people already lost their country. As a result of The Hudson’s Bay Company and the Canadian government taking away their land. The citizen reading the newspaper represents Canadian society…

Daniel Aboriginal people faced a lot of discrimination from the settlers from England who envisioned molding the new Dominion of Canada in the image of the Mother Nation. Slaves, Jews, Asian of any type and blacks did not have the need to apply for any membership. One group that mainly suffered from this ethnocentric view of the nation was the Aboriginals (Francis 70). Recent events have seen an interest in the traditional culture and history of the Native population of Canada such as Land…

Three Founding Nations When asked, “Who founded Canada?” the tendency is for people to reply with the notion that there are two founders: the French and English. It is due to negligence that people overlook the first residents of this land, our land; the land of the aboriginal peoples. My people where from the Plains land in the west, where we hunted buffalo and lived in tepees. It was us, along with other Native groups who were here before any Frenchman, Briton, or even Spaniard arrived here.…

The first reason why I think Louis Riel is a freedom fighter is because he fighted for Native rights. Around pages 131-140 Riel helps the Métis win land for their people by starting a petition against the Canadian government to let them have more land. John MacDonald agrees with a permit for more land but only for half-breeds living in the north-west and for only a small part of land. This makes the half-breeds angry. So Riel starts a rebellion and a new government called, “the Exovedate”, with…

and it would have been a clearer argument, however again, this theme was lost to the lack of relation to the rest of the article. This theme of “writing in a tree” would have been a powerful demonstration of the how essential language is to the First Nations people had it not been over shadowed by the many other themes he…

the context of Native Canadians in the first world war, while referencing Boyden’s style of integrating that experience in Elijah, Xavier and Peggy. I started this IOP with the assumption that native Canadians were not treated as fairly as the Canadians during the war. That they were not recognised in history and may have had to do extra work from racist undertones. Perhaps seeing that the history could be different than the book details. During the first world war, an estimated 4000…
