The document discusses John Locke's theory of government and its application to indigenous peoples' rights in Canada and the United States. It argues that according to Lockean theory, indigenous peoples would be justified in engaging in armed rebellion to overthrow the governments of Canada and the US. This is because both settler states are illegitimate, having abused their power beyond right/authority over native nations by wrongly appropriating territory and failing to recognize indigenous forms of governance. While Locke's theory of property was important for justifying European appropriation of native lands, his views may have been biased given his interests in North American settlement.
