impacts of confederation on metis and first nations
the Hudson's Bay Company sold Rupert's Land to the Canadian government without consulting and/or reimbursing the metis who lived there
they had to sign treaties to try and get back what they owned in the first place
the government promised to uphold british laws and recognize aboriginal land titles, but they didn't recognize the metis as having the same land rights as the first nations
red river resistance
metis land titles weren't being respected by the Canadian government
the metis drove the surveyors away
led to the metis national comittee
metis established their own provisional government to negotiate with Canada
wrote their own bill of rights
manitoba act was a compromise to the metis and french canadians
allowed them to have their own government
metis language and religious rights were guaranteed
accepted most of the metis bill of rights
settlers came and settled on metis land
metis requests for land claims were delayed
land ownership was harder for metis to obtain
they gave up and moved to saskatchewan
displacement
indian act was passed 9 years after confederation
Indian act was basically was supposed to do away with FN culture and make them more like europeans
basically put the canadian government in charge of belongings of FN people + FN people themselves
indian act caused residential schools
took children away from families
weren't allowed to practice their culture
canadian government had a patronizing attitude towards first nations, and still has a long way to go to fix things
even today, many first nations communities don't have clean drinking water, local high schools, which leads to separation of families
i'm never going to forgive the government
11 treaties were negotiated between Canada and First Nations
for giving up their land, they could get less, worse land, and a few tools, some money, etc
treaties were in english
often weren't what they negotiated verbally
