The national parks of BC are being mistreated.🌲s are being cut down, visitors are leaving garbage and pollution behind, resources are being extracted leaving behind loss of natural habitat. As a result of this the indigenous people of the areas are pressuring the government into closing the national parks for long periods of time to protect the land.

The indigenous dont have ownership of their land which is where the park is. The park is being mistreated and treated without respect of the land. The indigenous are getting more sovereignty as Parks Canada want to collaborate with them to support the land and the park.

The indigenous and the Government do not have the best relationship regarding the land of the parks. This event would belong in the middle stage of reconciliation because total reconciliation would mean giving all the land back to the indigenous peoples and leaving the north american continent and going back to europe.

The indigenous act was orginally written in 1951 and passed in 1876. Its main goal to force indigenous to assilmuatewith European culture. Helping in the creation of residential schools. The act also chose who got tto have Indian status. Indian status allowed for certain rights to participate in band politics and living on a reserve. This status could be lost forr many reasons such as graduating collage, wanting to vote, if a woman with Indian status married a man without she would lose her status. The act also attempted to erase and ban alot of culture. The act was changed to remove strongly Discriminatory sectors in 1985 and is still being argued till this day.

The federal government and the Haida Nation signed the agreement recognizing Aboriginal title over the archipelago of Haida Gwaii off BC’s northern coast.

The Haida have aboriginal title over all the islands, lands, beds of fresh water bodies, and foreshores to the low tide mark. The government will transition the crown title land to the Haida People which will grant them an inherent legal right to the land.

The federal government has recognized aboriginal title through negotiations and Ottawa said it will work respectfully and cooperatively with the Haida Nation on matters relating to Haida Gwaii.

James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement (1975)

The James Bay and Northern Quebec Agreement (JBNQA) changed the relationship between people living in Quebec and the Indigenous peoples in the region. The agreement was made in the government's hope to tap into James Bay's hydroelectric potential while the region's First Nations groups were hoping to fight for the Aboriginal title that existed. This was a long court battle between the Cree and Inuit, and the Quebec government that eventually saw the province recognize the specific rights of the groups in the region, and commit to paying $225 million in compensation for building dams in the region.

This agreement shows that Indigenous self-government and sovereignty are trending upwards in this region, as they were able to win their case in court. Because of this, the Cree and Inuit were recognized as being able to protect their way of living, learning, traditional practices on their land.

The event shows that the relationship between the Indigenous groups and the government was tense as the government attempted to ignore Aboriginal Title to the land. Winning the court case, however, shows that more was starting to be done to recognize the historic injustices and to begin to compensate for them.

Summary of the event.

The numbered treaties were a set of treaties between the dominion of Canada and the aboriginal nation from 1871-1921, they were made to negotiate them living on the same land, agreement, trading and many promises were made by the dominion in exchange to exist with the aboriginal people, due to misunderstandings and different concepts of what a treaty was, the dominion viewed it as surrender while the natives viewed it as a sign of friendship, being made which lead to conflict.

Effects of sovereignty.

This event showed less indigenous sovereignty because the treats were biased towards the government and had the indigenous losing their rights and turning into forced subjects instead of sharing the land.

Process of reconciliation.

This event belongs to the time before the reconciliation, this event also shows the government thought badly of the indigenous people during that time since they decided they could take advantage of them and it had worked through backhanded ways.
