Treaty 7 was created in 1877 in southern Alberta to allow European settlement while restricting Indigenous lands. It was signed between the Blackfoot Confederacy and Queen Victoria's representatives. Key events leading to it included plans for a transcontinental railroad through Indigenous territories. European settlers had attitudes of ethnocentrism and imperialism, while Indigenous peoples initially saw benefits but later faced broken promises and loss of land and culture. The treaty continues to impact modern society and relations.

First nations review
The document discusses various challenges faced by Aboriginal peoples in Canada over the 20th century, including the Indian Act, residential schools, reserves, and treaty negotiations. The Indian Act aimed to assimilate Aboriginal peoples and undermined their rights, languages, and cultures. Residential schools separated children from their families and communities. Aboriginal peoples responded to these challenges through protests and legal challenges, and increasingly demanded self-government. By the late 20th century some gains were made, including land claims rulings, apologies for abuses, and the creation of Nunavut territory with Inuit self-governance.

This document provides an overview of Indigenous peoples in Canada, including:
- Canada's history is one of colonialism that has marginalized Indigenous peoples through the loss of land and imposition of Western ways of knowing.
- Contemporary Indigenous identity is linked to discriminatory policies of forced assimilation through the Indian Act and residential schools.
- Since 1969, Indigenous peoples have pursued legal and political strategies to strengthen rights to land and self-determination, leading to some recognition of claims and treaties in the Constitution but unfinished issues remain.
Aboriginal issues
The document discusses the history of Aboriginal peoples in Canada and the various ways they became a minority population, including:
- The Indian Act of 1867 which attempted to force Aboriginal peoples to adopt European lifestyles and assimilate by banning cultural practices and ceremonies. It also placed Aboriginal peoples on reserves and sent children to residential schools.
- Disease epidemics which devastated many Aboriginal communities as they had no immunity, killing an estimated 60-70% of some populations.
- Loss of traditional lands as European settlement expanded under the Dominion Lands Act, displacing Aboriginal peoples from their nomadic lifestyles.
- The residential school system which sought to suppress Aboriginal culture and languages through the forcible removal of

A summary of the legacies of imperialism. There are various consequences of historical globalization and imperialist policies towards Aboriginal people. It focuses on the Aboriginal people and the goal of the residential schools.
Aboriginal Population
The document summarizes key information about Aboriginal peoples in Canada. It describes three main Aboriginal groups - First Nations, Inuit, and Métis - and explains that Aboriginal peoples originally inhabited Canada but were pushed onto reserves as European settlers arrived seeking land. As a result of treaties signed to give up their lands, many Aboriginal peoples now live in poverty on small reserves that comprise less than 1% of Canada's total area, causing ongoing problems between Aboriginal groups and the government.
Dispossession of the Aboriginal Peoples of Canada
The document discusses the various ways that Indigenous peoples in Canada have been dispossessed over time, including being forced off traditional lands, having spiritual/cultural practices banned, and being denied political rights. It outlines how the residential school system, environmental destruction, lack of consent for resource projects, and other policies have negatively impacted Indigenous communities and culture. Dispossession has taken forms like the signing of treaties that often did not have full Indigenous consent, and the ongoing effects of colonization include loss of culture and higher rates of poverty on reserves.
An Introduction to the Aboriginal Lens
The document provides an overview of Aboriginal history, culture, and contemporary issues in Canada. It discusses how Aboriginal people have a unique relationship to the land that was disrupted by colonization. It also outlines key events such as the Indian Act of 1876, residential schools, the Truth and Reconciliation Commission, and ongoing issues regarding land claims, poverty, health, education, and self-determination faced by Aboriginal communities. The document uses images and discussion questions to complement the written information.

Making of Modern Britain 1880-1951 - changing attitudes towards poverty
Social attitudes towards helping the poor began to change in the early 1900s for several reasons: (1) surveys found that over 25% of people lived in poverty, undermining the idea that poverty was their fault; (2) national security concerns arose due to many potential soldiers being unfit, threatening Britain's ability to fight future wars; (3) national efficiency was threatened as other countries industrialized more rapidly. These factors, along with the rise of labor politics and demonstrations of effective local policies, led politicians and the public to become more supportive of government assistance for the poor.
Liberal social reforms
The document summarizes social reforms introduced by the 1906-1914 Liberal government in the UK to help vulnerable groups. It overviews reforms that established old age pensions to help the elderly, introduced free school meals and medical inspections to aid young people's health and education, created national insurance that provided sick pay and unemployment benefits to assist the sick and unemployed, and implemented various acts to improve workers' conditions through limits on working hours, minimum wages, and compensation for injuries. However, many of these reforms had limitations and criticisms in fully addressing the problems facing these groups.
Land Rights Summary
- Aboriginal belief systems view land as sacred and linked to their ancestral spirits and identity. The land is seen as the dwelling place of elders and Aboriginal people feel a responsibility to care for it.
- Several key events advanced Aboriginal land rights and recognition, including the 1938 Day of Mourning, the 1946 Pilbara Strike, the Wave Hill Walk-off in 1966, and the Mabo decision in 1992 which overturned the doctrine of terra nullius.
- The Native Title Act of 1993 was passed to recognize native title under the common law in the wake of Mabo, though successfully claiming native title remains difficult for Aboriginal groups.
HCS103 topic 3
This presentation provides historical context on Indigenous Australians and discusses culturally appropriate social work practice. It outlines over 60,000 years of Indigenous culture in Australia prior to European arrival, and summarizes key events from colonization to present, including policies of assimilation, the Stolen Generations, land rights movements, and calls for constitutional recognition of Indigenous peoples. The presentation emphasizes the importance for social workers to understand this history, acknowledge past injustices, and develop culturally appropriate, human rights-based approaches through self-reflection, empowerment, and constant learning.
HCS103 Topic 3
This document provides an overview of Indigenous and Torres Strait Islander history and culture in Australia. It discusses:
- Indigenous people as the oldest continuous culture in the world, having survived for over 60,000 years.
- 2016 census data showing Indigenous people make up 2.8% of the population, with higher proportions in the NT and lower in Victoria.
- Historical contexts of European colonization, the Stolen Generations, assimilation policies, and the movement for self-determination, land rights, and reconciliation over the 20th century.
- Ongoing challenges Indigenous communities face related to education, employment, health, incarceration rates, and the intergenerational impacts of past policies and experiences.
Cultural assimilation and identity
European settlers increasingly sought Aboriginal lands in the mid-19th century, seeing Indigenous peoples as obstacles to progress. Duncan Campbell Scott, the deputy superintendent of Indian Affairs from 1913-1932, aimed to "get rid of the Indian problem" by assimilating Aboriginal people into Canadian society and eliminating distinctions. To achieve this, the government implemented a system of residential schools that separated Indigenous children from their families and communities in order to civilize them according to European traditions, which had long-lasting negative impacts by destroying much of Aboriginal identity, culture and traditions.
Australian Indigenous Government Policy History
The document summarizes the major changes in Australian government policies toward Aboriginal people from 1886 to the present:
1) From 1886-1938, a policy of protectionism aimed to segregate Aboriginal people on reserves and missions to replace their culture with white culture.
2) From 1938-1967, an assimilation policy encouraged Aboriginal people to adopt white culture and abandon their traditional way of life.
3) From 1962-1967, an integration policy allowed Aboriginal people to retain some culture but discrimination continued.
4) From 1967 onward, policies shifted to self-determination, recognition of native title, land rights, reconciliation, and a 2008 prime ministerial apology for past injustices.
Changing Rights and Freedoms: Assimilation ppt
The document discusses Australia's policy of assimilation towards Aboriginal people from the post-war period until the 1960s. The assimilation policy aimed to force Aboriginal people to abandon their traditional culture and adopt a European lifestyle by restricting many of their basic rights and freedoms. It denied Aboriginal people the right to marry without permission, raise their own children, access education and employment freely, and have the right to vote.
Impact of the Liberal Reforms - Elderly
The document discusses the introduction of Old Age Pensions in the UK in 1908. Prior to this, many elderly people lived in poverty as they could not save enough for retirement. The Old Age Pensions Act established a weekly pension for those over 70, aimed at addressing this issue. However, the pension amount was low and did not lift all recipients out of poverty. There was also criticism that not all elderly people were eligible to claim the new pension benefit.
Rights and Freedoms Part 2
This document summarizes key events and policies related to indigenous rights and representation in Australia from the 1960s to the 2000s. It discusses the 1962 Electoral Amendment Act allowing indigenous people to vote federally, the 1967 referendum recognizing indigenous people in the census and giving the federal government lawmaking power over indigenous affairs, the 1975 Gurindji land claim handing land back to traditional owners, the 1992 Mabo decision establishing native title, the 1997 Wik decision allowing native title and pastoral leases to coexist, the 1997 Bringing Them Home report on the Stolen Generations, and the 2008 national apology by Prime Minister Kevin Rudd to the Stolen Generations.

Dougy background and context
This document provides background information on several topics relating to Australian Indigenous history, including:
- Pre-arrival - Indigenous Australians lived across the continent in many communities prior to European arrival.
- 1788 - The arrival of the First Fleet led to initial confusion and misunderstanding between Indigenous Australians and British settlers.
- The Stolen Generations - Between 1910-1970, government policies led to many Indigenous children being forcibly removed from their families, causing lasting trauma.
- The Mabo Decision - A 1992 High Court case that recognized Indigenous land rights, overturning the idea that Australia was terra nullius at colonization.
- The Apology - In 2008, Prime Minister Kevin Rudd delivered a national apology to the St
Aboriginal Peoples Powerpoint
This presentation provides an overview of the hardships faced by Aboriginal peoples in Canada due to colonization. The Indian Act of 1867 destroyed Aboriginal ways of life by imposing a patriarchal system and stripping Aboriginal women of their status. Aboriginal women faced discrimination, including the removal of midwives and traditional birthing practices. They were overrepresented in the prison system due to the intergenerational trauma of colonization. Overall, the presentation examines how colonization through policies like the Indian Act undermined Aboriginal identity and culture.
Law Reform in Action - Native Title
The document summarizes the history of government policy and legal decisions regarding native title in Australia. It discusses how indigenous land rights were initially denied under the doctrine of terra nullius. Key court cases like Mabo v Queensland and Wik overturned this concept and recognized native title. Legislation like the Native Title Act aimed to establish a framework for native title claims, though balancing indigenous rights with other land interests has remained challenging. The legal system and law reform have played an important but imperfect role in recognizing indigenous land rights.

Impact of the Liberal Reforms - Young people
In the early 1900s in the UK, children faced many health issues and difficulties accessing education due to poverty. In response, the government began implementing policies like free school meals (1906), medical inspections of students (1907), and the Children's Charter of 1908 to protect youth. These policies aimed to address hunger, illness, and dangerous living/working conditions that children endured. However, implementation was uneven and many children still lacked adequate support.
Making of Modern Britain 1880-1951 - liberal reforms (the old)
The Liberal government introduced the Old Age Pensions Act in 1908 to help address problems faced by elderly people. The Act provided pensions of up to five shillings per week for single people and seven shillings five pence for couples aged 70 or older. While pensions made a significant difference by allowing many elderly to retire without poverty and worry over poorhouses, they also had limitations. The pension levels were below what was suggested to avoid poverty and many elderly died before becoming eligible at age 70. Not all elderly qualified due to exclusions such as prison records.
6.4 aboriginal issues
The document discusses the history of Aboriginal issues in Canada, including:
1) The Indian Act of 1867 aimed to assimilate Aboriginal people by forcing them to adopt European lifestyles and reside on reserves.
2) Diseases introduced by Europeans devastated Aboriginal communities, and they lost much of their land due to policies favoring European settlement.
3) The residential school system, beginning in the 1840s, aimed to suppress Aboriginal culture and languages by removing children from their families and placing them in schools. Many children suffered abuse and disease.

The Native Treaties
The Canadian government negotiated seven treaties with Native peoples between 1870-1877 to gain access to land for settlement and the railway. The treaties saw Natives relinquish claims to their traditional lands in exchange for small reserve allotments and promises of supplies, tools and provisions to support farming. However, the reality was that the government had no intention of upholding these promises. Conditions declined for Natives as supplies were never provided and the loss of traditional lands and lifestyle left them destitute and dependent on the government. The imposition of the residential school system further eroded Native culture and self-sufficiency.
Effects Of Coloniztionon First Nations
Colonization began with first contact between Indigenous peoples and Europeans in Canada. As settlers established themselves, they took over Indigenous lands through treaties and the creation of reserves. The Indian Act was established to assimilate Indigenous peoples and eliminate their cultures by imposing European ways of living. Residential schools were set up beginning in 1874, separating Indigenous children from their families and communities in order to force them to abandon their own cultures. The Kamloops Indian Residential School subjected Secwepemc children to abuse, severe labor, hunger and cultural suppression. Over time, the loss of traditional ways of living through hunting and gathering caused Indigenous peoples to become reliant on the welfare system imposed by colonizers.

Lucys Presentation Aborginal
The document summarizes the abuse of power suffered by Aboriginal people in Australia from the time of European colonization until the late 1960s. When Europeans first arrived, led by Captain James Cook, they claimed ownership of Australian lands despite the presence of Aboriginal peoples, disrupting their way of life. Over the following centuries, the Australian government and British imposed restrictive policies that displaced Aboriginals from their traditional lands and attempted to assimilate them through practices like forcibly removing children from families. This caused immense hardship and loss of culture for Aboriginal communities.
Treaties
The document discusses the history and goals of treaties between Indigenous peoples and colonial governments in what is now Canada. It outlines some of the common features and understandings of treaties from both Indigenous and government perspectives, including promises of ongoing hunting and fishing rights, reserve lands, and support for transitioning to a new economy. The document also shares differing understandings of the spirit and intent of treaties between Indigenous oral histories and colonial records. Overall, it provides context on the ongoing impacts and interpretations of the treaty relationships in Canada.
071350 The Semester Project
The document discusses the history and treatment of Native Americans in the United States. It describes how Native Americans originally inhabited and thrived on the land for thousands of years before European settlers arrived. However, as Europeans colonized the country they displaced Native Americans from their lands, subjected them to violent wars and massacres, and sought to assimilate their culture through oppressive boarding schools. The document argues that the U.S. government should provide compensation to Native Americans for dispossessing them from their rightful lands and destroying their way of life.
American Identity In The 18Th Century
The document discusses the development of American identity in the 18th century. It describes how Americans adopted representative governments with democratic principles that gave people a voice. This new political system fostered a unique American identity separate from British roots. However, disagreements and a large Loyalist population prevented effective unification against Britain. Town meetings and representative assemblies established in the colonies also caused Americans to cherish their self-governance.

Response to colonialism
Colonialism in Canada involved the exploitation of First Nations peoples and their lands through a series of policies and acts. The Indian Act of 1876 gave the government control over First Nations communities and attempted to assimilate indigenous cultures. Over time, diseases, loss of land, and the residential school system severely damaged First Nations populations and cultures. Modern responses from First Nations involve efforts to regain autonomy and protect their rights and traditions.
The english in north america
The document summarizes key aspects of the relationship between Puritans and Native Americans in North America. It notes that Puritans sought to abolish the Indian way of life and push Christianity onto them. This led to clashes over land and the destruction of Indian societies. King Philip's War devastated native populations, resulting in their demise in New England by the late 17th century. The document also summarizes the development of the Chesapeake colonies in Maryland and Virginia, focusing on the rise of tobacco cultivation, social hierarchies, and the growing use of African slaves in the colonies.
4. life under the british empire
Britain's empire stretched across the globe by the end of World War 1, but life under British rule was not always easy. Locals had little opportunity for self-governance and non-white populations faced discrimination and second-class treatment. While some benefits were brought, like infrastructure development and a shared language, many people suffered exploitation through loss of lands, poor working conditions, and slavery. By 1918, opposition to British control grew as independence movements formed in India, Ireland, and South Africa seeking more local autonomy and civil rights.

- 9. Visual This visual image of a First Nations tribe gathering their belongings represents how the European people that came over took the sacred lands of many tribes. There were small benefits for the aboriginal peoples but were usually not followed through with. The way these communities dealt with having to leave their homes and land was motivational in the sense that they stuck together throughout it all and continued to live their lives as peacefully and collaboratively as before..
- 10. • Europeans wanted to assimilate the First Nations into society without breaking treaty laws and promises so they created residential schools at the time of Treaty 7. Residential schools were made in order to keep the promise of providing free education but the intent of them was not to educate, but to assimilate. The purpose of these were to take the younger generations out of the traditional lifestyle and culture and learn the European way of life at a young age in hopes of them losing all ties to an Aboriginal life.
