Question 24

Describe one big idea or lesson you learned from canadian history that will help you better understand a relevant issue canada faces today.

Answer 24

Treaties
- learned how unfair it actually was for aboriginals then and now
- helped me understand more why First Nations are the way they are because of where we put them, never thought of reserves like Jewish camps
- we own all of the land they only got some
- treaties are they way they are because of the miscommunication between First Nations and Europeans and because of that they didn’t get what they truly wanted and promises weren’t quickly fulfilled
- we control the treaties, residential schools were terrible, were racist and have the Indian act which is a racist law that puts them down
- they in more poverty because of us - get paid less
I am more informed about aboriginals and treaties, helps me understand them and what issues they are currently going through and how I could maybe contribute by speaking out or even just by being more aware of the issues that go along with it
