First Nations Treaties – More than a Promise
Today we started talking about treaties such as the ones created between the First Nations and the government of Canada in the late 19th century. Β These treaties were sacred agreements between First Nations and the Government of Canada and they continue to be discussed and debated to this day. Β We observed some basic background information as provided by the Treaty Relations Commission of Manitoba and responded to the information with some essential critical thinking questions. Β Students are to choose 5 of the 7 questions in the assignment to critically respond to.
