Treaty 6
The Treaty 6 is an agreement between the crown, the plains, and the woods. It was made so that the indigenous people can protect their lands from surveyors and settlers. They just wanted to protect their land. When Canada acquired the lands of HBC territories, they also took some of the First Nations land and concerned them and what their intentions were. But they negotiated with the Crown and got them to get more land and span over present day Alberta and Saskatchewan. -
Indian Act
The Indian Act is ways that we can understand and comprehend ways that we can learn about native culture. Organize frameworks that shaped the native identity. The Indian Act deals with how the ways that the First Nations were being discriminated. It does not deal with the Inuit, or the metis. They felt very sorry for themselves but the Canadian government claimed that the Indian people (FN) do count as a person and gives them rights and everything like that. -
Treaty 7
It is an agreement between the Canadian Crown between the Blackfoot and the First Nations band governments. The treaty's purpose was combined with the significant cultural barriers. But the First Nations weren't too happy. They just wanted to keep their land and stay where they wanted. But the Canadian Government wanted to construct a railroad but they would have to extinguish the aboriginals right to land, bur the crown was able to defend their rights to land. -
Treaty 8
It was agreed by Queen Victoria and the First Nations. The land that covered by treaty 8 was 840000km which is bigger than France. In 1897, the time when the Klondike gold rush happened there were so many people stealing gold they started treating the aboriginals with violence, And started to raise concerns about travelling there. But now the government had them to co-exist and share the resources. This was not the governments intention to harm the Aboriginals. -
Metis Right To Hunt
The Supreme Court ruled that Metis the right to hunt fish and food with no licence. This does not go with people who have mixed culture like Half European and Half Indian heritage. But before the Metis were so down that they couldn't hunt even with a licence. But the Canadian Government changed it by having the highest court in the land change the Metis rights.
