Treaty 8 And The Douglas Treaties

Treaty 6 was signed on August 23,1876 at Fort Carlton and less than a month later on September 9, 1876 in Fort Pitt. Some Chief’s had expressed concern regarding being able to sustain this new way of life. They did not want to potentially lose touch with their way of living and the resources their lands possessed. The First Nations people had requested that the government aide their people with agricultural assistance, as well as help during times of famine, and pestilence. The Canadian Government was also asked if they could assist them with modern medicines.

The Northeast Boundary Commission Journal of John Gilmore Deane from September 2, 1838 to November 30, 1838 depicts a period of time, in which Maine stood defensive against the British colonies in claiming the boundary line between Canada and Maine. We will see that Mr. JG Deane played an important political role in Maine during the rising boundary concerns and was well acquainted for the work put forth. Although not a famous or memorable Maine figure by many, he played a crucial role in the determination of Maine’s Northeast boundary. He ensured the Maine people had access to the natural resources the state would depend upon by playing a role in establishing a fair boundary line. John G. Deane was a native of Massachusetts and moved to Maine in 1809.

The Dominion of Canada purchased the Northwest Territory from Hudson Bay Company. Prime Minister John A. MacDonald decided a Federal Police Force was needed to establish governing authority in this huge territory. Reports of American Whiskey traders, especially those at Fort Whoop-Up, and the events that culminated the Cypress Hills Massacre was a big concern to bring law and order to this region. Planning began in the late 1800s. Creating a permanent force to safeguard Canada’s borders, posts and land.

In the 20th century, lots of different people of different cultures had come to Canada hoping that they would get better lifestyle, get their rights and do whatever they want to. But what happened is that the people living over there were forced to vacate the land for the other people who came there for earning some capital. This created problems between the first nation people and the Canadian government. Amongst the aboriginal people, there was a person called Joe capilano who was the leader of the Squamish people raised his voice against this issue. “The photo of Joe capilano holding a totem pole clearly shows that he was proud of his culture, he was persistent to fight for aboriginal rights and finally he was a fearless leader”.

I. Recolonization of Nova Scotia and New Brunswick A. The thirteen colonies wanted Nova Scotia to become the fourteenth colony because of their close relationships and trading. B. Following the deportation of thousands of Acadians, Governor Charles Lawrence, of Nova Scotia, sent a proclamation throughout all of British North America to settle Acadian farmlands in 1756. He promised the English settlers paid transportation and land grants of forty hectares and twenty more hectares for each additional person.

Kacie Lee 2/15/18 Tomasetti AP World P.6 ID #20 1. Dominion of Canada (522) Once Britain gave Canada independence, the British North America Act of 1867 was established. This act brought Quebec, Ontario, and many more provinces together – they were called the Dominion of Canada.

Many years ago, French and British explorers found land that they claimed and fought for, through time they turned this land into Canada. This country began named New France, ruled by the French people, then as British North America, ruled by the British people. The French and the British had frequently fought over power, but this is what ended up shaping the provinces and territories in Canada. Events that impacted Canada were the Treaty of Utrecht in 1713 , then the Treaty of Paris in 1763, the Forming of Upper Canada in 1791, and the Act of the Union in 1849, when a responsible government was formed and Canada became one. The land of Canada began with an unsteady system, and ended with responsible government, having a democracy and giving

In 1742 the chief of Onondaga of the Iroquois Confederacy knew that his land that the people shared would become more valuable than it has ever been. (Doc B)The reason for this was because the “white people” also known as the Americans wanted the land of the chief. The feelings of the Chief result in complaining to the representatives of Pennsylvania, Maryland and Virginia,

Louis Riel was a proud Métis, a person of both First Nation and French ethnicity. The Métis were treated poorly by the Europeans in their own land and Riel wanted to change that. In the 1800’s, the Hudson's Bay Company (HBC), bought out Rupert’s Land and renamed it the Northwest Territories. The Canadian Government gave this land to incoming European immigrants. This act displaced the First Nations and Métis people who had originally inhabited that land.

Bridgette Adesuwa Omon Olumhense DBQ #2 The time period between 1789 and the mid 1830’s was quite ambiguous. With the British gone and the United States now in her building stages, an attiude needed to be taken towards the Native Americans, specifically the Cherokee Indians. The administrations before Jackson treated the Cherokee Indians with a somewhat docile, amiable hand, however much was left to be desired on the side of the United States. Many did not want to share the newly freed land with those that were not their own. Underneath the façade of friendship was manipulation, guarded ethnocentrism and racism.

In 1871 British Columbia joined confederation and was the 6th province to be apart of the country known as “Canada”. “On July 20, 1871, British Columbia entered Confederation as our sixth province, extending the young Dominion of Canada to the Pacific Ocean.” (http://www.canadahistoryproject.ca/1871/ ) One of the main reasons B.C. was able to join Canada, was because of the Fraiser River Gold Rush. This was when 30,000 miners from the United States came to British Columbia to get in on the gold rush.

Thesis The war of 1812 is the most significant for the first nations as they were betrayed, lost power and lost the most land. The war of 1812 had many negative consequences on the first nations people, for starters the first nations lost land. In 1815, the United states signed an agreement with various first nations stating that the United States would give back the land that the first nations had before 1811, although the United States never gave back the land and rather pushed the first nations north and west off their territory.

Living in Canada at the time of Confederation meant that there were many grievances that were being ignored and it came to a point where they needed to be properly addressed. There were many reasons for why Confederation occurred, but only a few of them were extremely significant. First and foremost, the economy was poor and desperately needed to do better. If small colonies combined, “they would have more taxes and more money to pay their debts as they grew” (Province of Manitoba, 2008).

Any and all Colonist trade and land from the Aboriginal territory south of Quebec was halted and handed to Quebec. However the King is too cruel the man to stop there. He granted them the religious freedom we have been yearning for since 1607. Intolerable is too generous a word. Our once great Mother land has betrayed us too deeply to simply forgive.

What defines the word “British” and who are the people who consider themselves to be “British”? These are the questions that arise when one thinks about exactly how “British” the colonies of “British North America” were. In essence, when does North America take on the British identity? It can be posited that the British identity of North America came to be and was most apparent after the Seven Years’ War when Canada was ceded by France to Britain in 1763.
