Jane Nowak something America lacks..The history of Aboriginal peoples in Canada is rich and diverse. This history stretches long into the past before the arrival of the European newcomers with diverse interactions among different peoples, flourishing trade and fierce conflict, and competition for lands and resources. The history of First Nations, Inuit and Métis is essentially the very history of Canada as they have played, and continue to play important roles in its development and its future.

Jane Nowak Americans brag about Slavery but they can't even do this for the Natives..For over a century Aboriginal children were removed from their families and homes, sometimes forcibly, and taken to residential schools where they were housed and educated under the authority of the Government of Canada. The establishment of Indian residential schools began in the 1870s. The Government of Canada was involved in the funding and operation of many of these schools, along with various religious organizations, including the Anglican, Presbyterian, United and Roman Catholic churches. Two primary objectives of the residential schools system were to remove and isolate children from their homes, families, traditions and cultures, and to assimilate them into the dominant culture. In all, some 150,000 First Nations, Inuit and Métis children were removed and separated from their families and communities to attend residential schools. While most Indian residential schools ceased to operate by the mid-1970s, the last federally run school closed in the late 1990s. On June 11, 2008, Prime Minister Stephen Harper offered an historic Apology to former students of Indian residential schools and their families, and sought forgiveness for the suffering and the long-lasting impact the schools have had on First Nations, Inuit and Métis culture, heritage and language. Alongside the 2008 Apology, the successful ongoing implementation of the Indian Residential Schools Settlement Agreement is a key factor in the Government of Canada’s efforts to forge a new relationship between Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Canadians.

Both US and Canada govs have a long list of the wrong (I want to believe) 'mistakes' toward Natives. Now we are a minority, and who ask the minority for their opinion? ....

@@dn2ze My great-grandpa was put in the boarding school, along with his siblings, and his fingers were broken by the teachers because he refused to write in English. I was also told that his sister was raped in the school and he had a brother that was sodomized too by the teacher 😒 I also learned that my great-grandpa's mother was also a survivor of the boarding school and that she was repeatedly raped during her time in the school too. I guess the trauma was so bad for my grandpa that, other than his name on the rare occasion, he would refuse to write anything down and would either my grandma or their children write things for him. My grandpa was 1st Nation Ojibwe (Chippewa) and he was from the Swan Creek tribe and his clan was the Turtle/Bear. Grandpa died in 1981, seven years before I was born.

And one day we will get our land again !

If I were you i'd get thoughts like that out of your head. For you to claim your land back it would require war with the whites. And if there's anything history has taught the world about whites it's that they're extremely efficient at war.

MancunianRedcoat we will claim our land back with love the strongest frequency known to mankind the word War does not mean anything it doesn't exist it only exists in your subconscious mind but this I can tell you what comes around goes around in the front lines with Mother Karma the truth will set you free what False history you learned that fake stuff that they teach you in school

Honor the treaties of the First Nations in Canada. They are valid legal documents and should be acknowledged. Unfortunately Trudeau thinks otherwise.

such a minor point some say. So many other concerns we should address but.. after almost 70 years I will remain as Russell means said ""indian til they get off my land''. makes sense then...makes sense today. But I am anishnaebaek 4/4 fullblood.

Amen

I'm not quite sure but I believe the lady in the fur coat was from alaska so that would be american but I do agree native women are very beautiful
