=The Rights Of First Nations Peoples=
 * The native people wanted to retain their traditional territory and based their claim of land to the royal proclamation of 1763.
 * Children going to residential schools were taught by religious christian groups and told not to practice their customs or speak their native language.
 * The natives of the west were able to keep their land for longer because it took some time for settlers to immigrate to the west.
 * James Douglas signed treaties with several bands of natives then settlers started to flood in during the Laurier era, this frightened the first nations and they had to settle the confusion with the land title quick.
 * In 1911 native chiefs presented to the provincial government about land title, treaties, and self government for themselves. The government didn't know how to respond.
 * There was going to be more land added to native reserves but some better quality land taken away the natives disagreed and the government made laws that permission of cut-off lands was no longer needed and did it anyway.
 * Obviously the rights of the native peoples didn't matter to the government and continuously used its power to push aboriginals around.
