The indigenous peoples have not been given the respect they deserve, whether it's access to their land, or access to healthcare. This is due to governments and companies depriving them of this out of greed. At first, we had an alliance, but we took advantage of them. We have still not made up for this, nor tried to undo these actions.

I think indigenous people struggled because of their looks of being different and known as "savages". These people were put in bad places to live with not much clean water or filtration systems and they have less access then everyone else.

The indigenous people wanted to maintain their way of life (hunting, fishing, etc...) but the government said they could only do that in small pieces of land, not anywhere they wanted.

Indigenous people have been mistreated for decades now due to the fact that they have their own distinct way of living. Their individuality makes them different from what the culture is like in a "modern" society. Additionally, the Europeans decided to use this factor to their advantage by violating their rights and colonizing their territory—later on, they have started ignoring their free will or even attacking them. Unfortunately, even though we have progressed as a society now, the truth is that we have not changed much from our past when it comes to rights of the Indigenous community.

Indigenous people are being discriminated and people don't think that they deserve the same rights as other Canadians. The government is disrespecting indigenous people when they install new oil industries, they are violating the rights of the people that live on those lands. Most people don't care about indigenous people because they live and do things differently than non-indigenous people .

Indigenous people struggle to have the same rights as Canadians because most of their rights were taken away by the government. Canadians don’t want to give them the rights they legally and actually deserve because it will interfere with the governments plans. For example, if indigenous have their land back and the government doesn’t do any work on it the government loses money because they don’t get to extract oil, get animals (for meat) etc.

the government is taking away their rights and land for constrcution mining and is not honouring their rights. The government is using their land and creating it impossible for them to hunt fish and pick medicines

I think they’ve struggled with getting equal rights because of their religion and the amount of immigrants coming in overwhelmed them. These immigrants which would’ve been the British and french wanted their own leaders and didn’t want to be ruled by the Indigenous  and use their ways. This caused a snowball effect and people just wanted to keep their ways and were ignorant about what was happening with the Indigenous.Also because there aren’t as many Indigenous what they’re saying isn’t having as great of an effect

the canadian government has always cheated the indigenous peoples. they have always been pushed down and quieted since they live in the "dark". since they live so far from modern media i think they don't know how bad they've been treated. they may think that the food shortages, and the medical shortages are normal.

Canada's indigenous people have struggled for so long to gain the same rights because of racism, as well as the centuries of feuding between them and the colonizers. For example, the creation of residential schools have caused many indigenous cultures to be wiped out. Some places, such as Thunder Bay, the death rate for young indigenous teens are quite high because of racism and corruption in the government.

the indigenous people’s have struggled because the Europeans thought that they were very different then us because they had a different language and a different way of surviving.

# data[].attributes.body
I think because in the past they were considered different then regular people, in the past they were considered “animals” to white people. I feel they’re still some people these days who still consider them different. This is why indigenous people still struggle getting they’re rights. Some people still don’t consider them as equal.

# data[].attributes.body
I think it is similar to other situations where others are treated unfairly. When someone is different, has different beliefs, different appearance, etc. It is discrimination, and it should not be tolerated.

# data[].attributes.body
Because people discriminate against them

# data[].attributes.body
Because the Europeans had the idea that they colonized Canada and therefore it was there land and they just wanted to use the Indigenous people for materials and services (the fur trade).

For hundreds of years First Nations people living in Canada have struggled. When Canada was first colonized by european countries, the people native to the country were abused, stripped of their rights, and treated with the opposite of respect, even though they are the people that founded Canada. In modern times First Nations people living in Canada, are still marginalized, sure they have designated territories, and don’t have to pay taxes, but when it comes to making decisions about Canada as a whole they really don’t have much or any of a say,  not to mention the pipelines that run through their territories, that the First Nations people are very against.

Indigenous peoples haven’t been respected for very long because they aren’t considered a “race” by many people. They are considered “other” and are treated as if they aren’t equal as someone who may be, for example, white or black.

# data[].attributes.body
They have struggled because they have wanted to maintain their traditional way of life. However the government is coming on to their territory and taking away their resources which makes it difficult for them to live the way they want too

# data[].attributes.body
Because they have been/are discriminated against

# data[].attributes.body
Canada’s Indigenous People’s have struggled for so long to gain the same rights as any other Canadian as they were thought of as differently because of their Customs and traditions as they want to leave as little of an imprint in the land as they can but as there is a growing economy and people want to settle in and develop by cutting down natural areas such as forests and build buildings and structures as such.

# data[].attributes.body
Indigenous people have struggled because when the Europeans came to Canada they were the ones making all the rules and not taking the beliefs of the indigenous people into consideration. Therefore they did not apply the same rights we have to the indigenous people.

# data[].attributes.body
People think indigenous people don't deserve the same rights as other people that live in Canada.
