The Indigenous soldiers received medals but when they got home, they endured unfair treatment as usual.  Indigenous veterans did not receive the same benefits as the non-Indigenous veterans.

Caucasian women could vote. However, First Nations Women could only vote if they gave up their “Indian Status” and treaty rights.

The league would advocate about the concerns from Indigenous people in Canada; the loss of reserve lands, poor economic and health conditions etc.

This Act negatively affected Indigenous people because it didn’t really allow Indigenous people to embrace their culture. There were so many restrictions regarding the overall celebration of their culture.

However, this rule was loosely applied to Métis and Inuit children.

Having to hand over their land is one of the many ways Indigenous history has diminished over the years, along with forcing children to attend residential schools.]]> 2021-09-08 21:27:26 UTC https://padlet.com/350268066/a0hujnl2pjmbmttu/wish/1726095545 350268066 https://padlet.com/350268066/a0hujnl2pjmbmttu/wish/1726101421 The book “The Story Of A National Crime”, written by Dr. Peter Henderson Pryce was published. It exposed the truth on the neglect of the health of the children in the residential schools. In the book, Bryce states Duncan Campbell Scott and the Ministry of Indian Affairs ignores the health of Indigenous people.

The veterans were given the right to vote, but was it at the cost of the remembrance and celebration of their heritage?

Decades before, Inuit people were forced to wear disc numbers so the Canadian government could keep track of their medical records, census date etc.

The expansion of residential schools was one of the pivotal factors in the decline in Indigenous heritage and the celebration of it as a whole.

The factors that led up to making residential schools mandatory include the want for control over the Indigenous Population and to integrate Indigenous people into Canadian Society. By completely riding the Indigenous children of their culture, the Canadian government was able to control a whole demographic. The factors that led up to expanding residential schools are similar to the reasons for creating them in the first place; to assimilate Indigenous people into the Canadian society. The consequences of these schools are present on the former students and the Indigenous children today.

Between 1918 and 1924, another group of people were allowed to vote in federal elections. The changes were definitely positive, however the continuities being the fact Indigenous women could still not vote unless they give up their “Indian Status” and treaty rights, and the racism the male Status Indians had to have were not positive continuities. The changes were slow considering the male Status Indians fought for their country and still weren’t allowed to vote in their own country that they fought for.
