people use drugs or alcohol to cope, and by doing this are also negatively impacting the lives of their children and families. Children grow up around alcohol and drugs and many times are more susceptible to using them.

The children of residential school survivors also endured

For years “immemorial”(21) the First Nations people lived off the land and developed a spiritual relationship with the land and each other. When Europeans arrived, First Nations people had personable relations with them and the implementation of treaties was intended to secure those relations. However, the two parties perspectives on treaties, the process of negotiations and their motives varied greatly. These differences were also culturally predominant which led to future complications. These complications

they affirmed and not affirmed the collective rights for the First Nations.Reserves are pieces of land for exclusive use of First Nations. The First Nations were able to obtain reserves by signing treaties that would give them the right to have reserves. The First Nations received benefits for living on the reserves. One of the benefits for living on the reserves was being able to hunt and fish without restrictions. The First Nations could hunt any animal they wanted, but they had to make sure that

emulate. My scarlet letter honors these efforts. I think Canada is an astounding nation because their global influence lies largely below the radar, their government remains at peace with virtually everyone, and the Canadian people are generally known for their genuine kindness and care for others. Canada benefits economically and politically because many countries don’t take them seriously as a world power. Foreign nations are not alarmed when Canada adds its name late to treaties and economic policies

Before Europeans made initial contact with the First Nations tribes who resided in what would be later christened Canada, the First Nations tribes had a spiritual relationship with the land surrounding them, practicing methods of preserving both the land and the animals. Additionally, they also had a structural government that consisted of men dictating political matters and women controlling the economic results.

During his visit, he received “tough questions from First Nations teens on their futures and his promises” (Harper A6). The teens asked about First Nations suicides, genocide, Third World living conditions and respect for treaties. “How do you intend to honour the promises your ancestors made with mine exactly written in all the signed treaties across Canada, to make up and pay for the acts of genocide our ancestors

with sorry is not enough. Assimilation is defined as absorbing a culture or adapting to a nation. The wrong in what happened in the historical past was assimilation was attempted in very wrongful unforgiving way, actions indeed do speak louder than words. The real question could be why was assimilation such a key goal? Did it play a part into why Aboriginals culture slowly is eroding? Some may say that the lack of Aboriginal Culture in our days, today was caused by a reason that had nothing to do

Mistreatment of first nations (post french and indian war) Canada’s true historical identity began in 1763 when britain became canada's colonising country after the french and indian war commonly known and associated as the seven year war. British settlers in 1763 are responsible for the mistreatment of first nations. First Nations were not allowed/encouraged to practice their religion, culture, and European settlers brought diseases.

Most people believe that residential schools does more harm than good to First Nations. They have all the means to believe that, since stories like Chanie Wenjack’s death and many more reveals the brutal ruthlessness of some residential schools, but is there another side to this story? Residential schools are built to assimilate First Nations culture. They certainly achieved that, but were residential schools such a horrible place? Were residential schools the only schools that abused children? Did
