What is the story behind the Native American Indians of Canada?
In other words, did or
did not Canada do the same barbarous things to their Native American Indians that the United States did? I would tend to think not, but I’d like to know just the same.
canada is no different than usa when it comes to treatment of native people.
RCMP try to sniper shoot an unarmed man. The “eye in the sky” video shows that they totally lied about it in court and tried to cover up their attempted murder.

look at some of the provisions of the indian act. here are wonderful ways canada decided to magically rid themselves of natives. a person stopped being native by:
marrying a man who was not a Status Indian
enfranchisement (until 1960, an Indian could vote in federal elections only by renouncing Indian status)
having a mother and paternal grandmother who did not have status before marriage (these people lost status at 21)
being born out of wedlock to a mother with status and a father without.
here are some of the amendments to it over the years:
Amended to prohibit the sale of agricultural produce by Indians in Prairie Provinces without an appropriate permit from an Indian agent.[4] This prohibition is, as of 2008, still included in the Indian Act, though it is not enforced
Amended to prohibit religious ceremonies (such as potlatches) and dances (such as Tamanawas dances)
Amended to outlaw all dances, ceremonies and festivals that involved the wounding of animals or humans, or the giving away of money or goods
Amended to allow aboriginal people to be removed from reserves near towns with more than 8,000 residents.
Amended to allow municipalities and companies to expropriate portions of reserves, without surrender, for roads, railways, and other public works.[10] Further amended to allow a judge to move an entire reserve away from a municipality if it was deemed “expedient.”
Amended to require western Indians to seek official permission before appearing in “aboriginal costume” in any “dance, show, exhibition, stampede or pageant
Amended to allow the Superintendent-General to lease out uncultivated reserve lands to non-aboriginals if the new lease-holder would use it for farming or pasture
Amended to prevent anyone (aboriginal or otherwise) from soliciting funds for Indian legal claims without a special license from the Superintendent-General. This effectively prevented any First Nation from pursuing aboriginal land claims
Amended to allow Indian agents to direct band council meetings, and to cast a deciding vote in the event of a tie
Amended to allow First Nations women the right to keep or regain their status even after “marrying out”, and to grant status to the children (but not grandchildren) of such a marriage. This amendment was debated in Parliament as Bill C-31. Under this amendment, full status Indians are referred to as 6-1. A child of a marriage between a status (6-1) person and a non-status person would qualify for 6-2 (half) status, but if his/her child in turn married another 6-2 or a non-status person, the child will be non-status. If a 6-2 marries a 6-1 or another 6-2, their children will revert to 6-1 status. Blood quantum is disregarded, or rather, replaced with a “two generation cut-off clause”.[11] According to Thomas King, around half of status Indians are currently marrying non-status people, meaning this legislation will accomplish complete legal assimilation in a matter of a few generations

El Norte (The Criterion Collection) [Blu-ray] $18.29 The audience for El Norte splits into two factions.

Hailed as “the first epic” of the… |
