Explain how each of these changes would be harmful to the culture of the First Nations people. en-us 2020-01-20 19:09:44 UTC 2022-03-29 20:49:06 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Balance.png https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731452 The Indian Act was a way to change the diversity between the government and the first nation peoples, so the country could become one whole.The government however didn't consider the first nations and took their land and culture. The first nations were forced to live on their tiny "reserved" land that could be taken at any moment by the government. To this day the Indian act is still active and the first nations people do not get all the rights of a "true Canadian".

       To follow up on my last point, through the eyes of a first nations person I wouldn't feel part of the Canadian community.
I would feel like the others who opinion didn't have an affect. Although i would legally have the right of speech, I wouldn't feel listened to.

On what Geoff said about First nations being treated like they aren't human. I agree with this for when you talk about a first nation you see them as not apart of our civilization yet. Like they are growing up, not yet ready to join the civilization before us.]]> 2020-01-20 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731452 https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731453 The Indian act made the First Nation can't live anywhere and they can't speak their own language.Also the First Nations Peoples can't make their own decisions themselves.The First Nation are like "wards" to the government. Also whenever they need something or need to go outside from the reserve they still need  permission. That is honestly not fair, because you don't have any freedom or rights for their privacy. For example like us, students we still can go to the washroom whenever we want, but for them they need to ask for permission]]> 2020-01-20 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731453 https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731454 I think the Indian Act is not fair AT ALL! They don't let the First Nations people speak their own native language,  they only could live in the reserve, other than that, they took away their cultures as well! The Indian Act is basically controlling the First Nations people. Also, the Indian Act treats all the adults like wards.  That is just unfair!  You also need permission from the Indian Agent and you need to state why are you leaving the reserve. Also, you need permission from the Indian Agent to sell stuff.  It's NOT FAIR! You're basically like a child asking for permission to go outside, or buy anything, etc.  ]]> 2020-01-20 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731454 https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731455 If the Indian Act considered first nations "Indians" then then shouldn't Canada be India to them or everybody?

Are first nations still not allowed to speak their own language in public? 

I think that later on this "Indian Act" will back fire on the government soon! 

I feel like it won't be good if the first nations  rise up on their own because the government has more armed forces unless they have help.? 

HONESTLY I THINK THAT THE CANADIAN GOVERNMENT IS BASICALLY THE SAME AS NORTH KOREA'S GOVERNMENT TO FIRST NATIONS!!!! ]]> 2020-01-20 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731455 https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731456 i think that the Indian Act is not fair to the First Nations Peoples because they are still humans like us. The Indian Act affected the First Nations by being able to take over the First Nations land, house and territory whenever they want. The Indian Act affects the First Nations by if you went to a university then you aren't a first nation anymore. If you go of reserves for five years then you aren't a first nation. It is also unfair because before is you want to leave the reserve you have to have to ask the agent. If you want to go buy food or go do basically everything they have to ask the agent.]]> 2020-01-20 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731456 https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731457 The Indian act is unfair to First Nations peoples and it should not still exist. I think that the First Nations people should be given back to them. The Indian Act was
supposed to turn First Nations peoples into everyone else. they did this by making them wear the same clothes, saying they could not do any traditional activities, and saying they must follow all the governments laws. The government also invented Residential Schools. A Residential School is a school for First Nations children. The government came and took the children away without asking and put them in these schools. In the schools, the children were forced to learn english, write it, and read it. They were also beaten badly. This caused the children to lose contact with their families and forget their language. The purpose of these schools was to "civilize" The First Nations people.]]> 2020-01-20 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731457 https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731458 I think the Indian act is very offended to peoples and random, like even though you have the human right, but they just ignore this. Now even if the law is been remove, but the governance are still trapping the Indigenous people with it, so if you need to go to the doctor you have to ask the governance too. And if the indigenous people go to collage you will no longer be a indigenous. And before, if you want to go to buy a new shoes you need to ask for permit to go, and kids are been changed from the inside to the outside, they can't talk to her/his parent and friend,]]> 2020-01-20 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731458 https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731459 The Indian act had changed the First Nation. The goal of the government was to "civilize" the First Nation to make all of the First Nation all like the  , and to define who was an First Nation. It was mostly made to strip the First Nation from their religion. The Indian act allowed people to take their land that they owned. My opinion is that, the Indian act is wrong and that it should not still be active. What have the First Nation's done to them?]]> 2020-01-20 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731459 https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731460 I think Indian Act is not fair , because Indian Act don't let first Nation people do they want it to do, don't let them speak their language , control them.

Keeping anyone away from their own culture is cruel. They basically took over the First Nation's lives. How did it even start? It's just so awful to take everything away from First Nations people. The First Nations were so respectful to everyone. Plus, where on earth did 'human rights' go? People should be able to do whatever their culture allows them......right or wrong?]]> 2020-01-20 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731461 https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731462 I agree with Henry A

To simplify this entire conversation the Indian Act is plain out UNFAIR!!!!!!!!!!!! ]]> 2020-01-20 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731462 https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731463 The Indian Act made first nation people not able to live anywhere else other than the reserves, not able to speak their language and practice their cultures. They also do not own the land they live on, the lands belong to the government. The Indian Act was made to make first nations civilized like the Europeans by taking away their rights and their  cultures. The first nations are like wards to the government. They cannot do a lot of things without the government's permission. The government also controls the money that the first nations have. You would have to have permission even to buy a pair of socks outside of the reserve.]]> 2020-01-20 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731463 https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731465 it is so odd that they have to have a permit to leave]]> 2020-01-20 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731465 https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731466 I think that the Indian act is cruel and unfair and affects the first nations by:

1. forbid first nations from practicing their traditional religion. This can affect them by, them forgeting their religion and forgeting their normal ways of practicing their religion.
 
2. forbid First nations from forming political organizations. This can affect them by, them not having their leaders and only european and Canadian leaders or primeministers. This can also affect them by them forgeting their original ways of having cheifs and other political places.

3. Denied woman status. This can affect them by them not having woman to keep their indian status. if a indian woman
marries a non-indian man the woman is no longer considerd indian. And this can also affect them by if they go to university 
and get a degree they are no longer considerd indian. ]]> 2020-01-20 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731466 https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731467 The Indian Act made the first nation people not to speak their language and they can not live where they want to, and they can't follow their culture. It is not FAIR!! The Indian Act took their freedom, they can't be like normal first nation people, the government took their land. They can't even do a lot of things without the permission of Indian  Act, they can't buy stuff they wants to, the government control their money. It's like children ask their family the permission to go outside.]]> 2020-01-20 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731467 https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731468 Three ways the Indian act affected the First Nations were how the government could just take First Nations land, houses, territory and families. The government was also trying to change First Nations to be more like the other people which were Europeans at the time. They would also strip First Nations of their culture, traditions and practices. Most children are "wards" ( a ward is a child under adult care) children are wards when their under the care of an adult but if you're First Nation, all children and adults would be under the care of the government and not their families. First Nations were pushed to a small piece of land and if you went of the land it would be considered an federal offense. a]]> 2020-01-20 19:09:45 UTC https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731468 https://padlet.com/learn4life/indianact1648586944/wish/433731469 The Indian act in many senses are almost a slave contract for the aboriginals. The aboriginals were and still is considered wards by the government. The Indian act is a disgrace to the mordern day society and a outdated law.

You cant really do anything with out anybody to help you out. So, i think its like going to the doctor and then they need to call the government for your appointment to continue. Also you can not get out of the Indian act too, so your completely stuck. Personally I think that would be dreadful, but hopefully in the future we will come to an agreement and give them back there rights.

Under the  Indian act, first nation people don't have the rights to manage the land they are living in and the government can take their land so easily. 
Indian act is taking the rights of the first nation people and their freedom to be a normal "first nation people"  
The act is really being unfair. First nation people are not allowed to vote because the government think first nation people are not people. They are not treated like a citizen in the country.
