INDG 1240: Indigenous Peoples in Canada, Part 2

Laura Forsythe

September 28, 2022

Abstract

Before the coming of the Europeans, indigenous people were living an autonomous, self-governing existence. Not shortly after the Europeans came in the North, they gained control of the First Nation's culture, religion, economy, legal system, and most important, their land. The 1763 Act, which was created to defend Aboriginal rights and to normalize relations between the British and Aboriginals to reap the benefits of peaceful land settlements, is one of the earlier treaties between the British and the First Nations. However, relatively few new ones were created following European colonization (Kulchyski, "The Royal Proclamation," 26–28, 2007). The agreements show that promises of annuities, health care, and other perks were given in return. This article will compare we are treaty people campaign and Bipole III transmission to show how the social and cultural status of Indigenous people have been impacted by many factors.

Introduction

Prior to the advent of Europeans in the North, Native Americans were already creating their own unique culture, language, and social norms. As a result, different agreements on the occupation of Canada's land were implemented through the employment of treaties between the two parties.

Conclusion

It is crucial that non-Aboriginals get knowledge about the subject to understand it and take measures to speak out against prejudice. It is a perilous act to destroy the cultural and social characteristics of the inhabitants of the land we are on. Traditional culture and customs are vanishing and causing cultural distress because of the injustice. (Canadian Aboriginals' Experiences with Colonialism, 2018) In order to end the current conflict between Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals, it is crucial to understand and address who the Indigenous people in Canada are. Because most people will accuse Aboriginal people of various wrongdoings without having the necessary information. Education, information, and shrewd action are unavoidable if we are to put a stop to this disparity. Canada can never be calm from the inside due to the cruel past of colonization, which negatively impacted the functioning of many families and the ongoing problems experienced by the Aboriginal people (Effects of Colonialism to Canadian Aboriginals, 2018). There must be an end to the interruption. As a result, this article compares two issues, we are treaty people campaign and Bipole III transmission, to show how the social and cultural status of Indigenous people have been impacted by a variety of factors.
