1. Effects of Coloniztionon First Nations
1. Discuss your understanding of historic and contemporary colonization, how it continues to affect
First Nations, Metis, and or Inuit peoples today and how it may be reflected in your proposed
specific area of social work practice.
To begin with, colonization began when first contact was made between Indigenous peoples of
Canada and Europeans. At first the settlers were humble to Indigenous peoples and learnt how to
survive the diverse land of what is known as Canada. As settlers began getting established in
Canada, the land began getting taken over by Europeans. The signing of treaties was a mechanism
used to divide and conquer the lands from Indigenous peoples. Indian reserves were created to
separate different tribes and land was claimed for natives to live on. According to ..... the land given
was not very healthy and did not accommodate the way first nation peoples lived. Next, the Indian
Act was established in hopes to absorb " indianess" and in hopes would expire therefore eliminating
the existence of "indianess".
In addition to the Indian Act came another mechanism called residential schools. According to
Frideres (2011) residential schools were an educational institution established by the Canadian
government and the Roman Catholic missionaries for the purpose of forcing native people to
abandon their culture and adopt "a more superior" way of living. The first residential school was
established in 1874, after which the number of these schools rapidly spread all

3. Separation And Education Of Young First Nations Children
The ambition of the Canadian government in regard to First Nations People was to assimilate them
into European culture and erase their culture from the country. Separation and education of young
First Nations children was the major means to achieve their objective. With substantial involvement
from the Christian churches, the residential school system was created and schools were built
throughout the entire country. The Kamloops Indian Residential School was attended by students
from the nations surrounding Kamloops including children from the Secwepemc Nation who
occupied the much of the southern–interior of British Columbia. The school was ran by the Roman
Catholic Church. The Secwepemc children were no exception to the abominable conditions in the
residential school systems facilities and the effects of these schools can last a lifetime. The students
who attended the Kamloops Indian Residential School were cut off from their communities and
families; stripped of their language and culture; and subjected to abuse and severe labour, hunger,
and abuse. The Secwepemc People are indigenous to the south central region of British Columbia.
The Secwepemc Nation is also called the Shuswap Nation, more so by non–indigenous people,
which is an English version of Secwepemc. Currently, the Nation is comprised of seventeen separate
bands; however, prior to a smallpox epidemic in 1862 which drastically reduced the population,
there were thirty–two bands (Secwepemc Nation,

5. The World Of An Independent Society
As First Nations fell away from our traditional roots of hunting and gathering, and have inevitably
picked up the European ways we have become victims of the Well Fare system. Originally, First
Nations had Fared Well; however since European invasion they have also been the victims of the
Well Fare system. We as a First Nations people need to find our way back to our traditional roots
and only then will we find ourselves in a Faring Well community.
The Secwepemc peoples are an excellent study of First Nations political economy. In their past they
lived a Faring Well economy but as time went on and the European influence came into their lives,
they lost their economic freedom more and more. The steps that they have taken throughout the
recent years have led them to accepting the Well Fare economy. However as time goes on we have
taken the first steps to becoming an independent society.
The word Kamloops is the English translation of the Shuswap word Tk'emlúps, meaning 'where the
rivers meet,' and for centuries has been the home of the Tk'emlupsemc, 'people of the confluence'.
European contact with the colonial government divided the Secwepemc into 17 distinctive groups in
1811, with specific parcels of land selected for each. The Secwepemc peoples fall into the Plateau
group of First Nations in North America. The Secwepemc people are a nation of 17 bands that
occupy the south–central part of the Province of British Columbia. These proud people have lived in
the interior

7. English Translation Of The United States
Originally, First Nations had Fared Well; however, since the European invasion they have been the
victims of the Well Fare system. First Nations are gradually losing their traditional ways of living.
We no longer gather roots and hunt for our sustenance. We have inevitably picked up the European
ways; we have become victims of the Well Fare system. The Secwepemc people have existed in
their current territory for 10,000 years and thrived through their own work and trading with other
tribes. The Secwepemc were affluent enough to share with those that were in need and in turn
received help when the Secwepemc were in need. We took only what was needed. As time goes on
the Secwepemc people continue to become prosperous in European terms, collecting and hoarding
more and more. The Secwepemc take part in the local economy in various ways. As a First Nations
people we need to find our way back to our traditional roots and only then will we find ourselves in
a Faring Well community.
