Thanks. But I only know bits and pieces of the history of Indigenous in Canada, and what I know is that it wasn’t so cut and dried. Among other things North America was the site of English & French colonial competition, with each side forging alliances with different Indigenous nations in their respective Colonization efforts. The alliances were recorded in treaties– essentially what we call contract law today. The Haldimand Tract where I live is unceded territory purchased by the British Crown from it’s Indigenous owners and given to the Mohawk and other Six Nations in perpetuity. This was compensation for the loss of these First Nations people’s own traditional homeland as a direct result of fighting for the British against the American invaders (which is why Canada is not part of the USA). I have come to think the Canadian conquest was more a matter of defrauding the Indigenous than defeating them in battle.
The thing to remember is this isn’t just history; Canada has institutionalized its Colonialism in ongoing policies designed to dispossess and erase the Indigenous population one way or another. And it needs to stop.
