- Over the weekend, I learned that Indigenous people and I aren't all that different My family comes from Punjab, India. Before the British took over India, Punjab was double the size. An arbitrary border was made to create Pakistan. In 1947 the divide happened, and it led to the catastrophe. The British also affected our culture similarly to how they affected the indigenous culture. Sikhs used to live by a martial culture and always be armed, but this is lost nowadays. The Indian government also forgets the Punjabi people similar to how the Canadian government forgets the Indigenous. Punjab’s water is used by all the other states in India but we are not compensated. There was also massive genocide by the Indian government against the Sikhs in 1984. At heart, We are all treaty people!
- Yeah, shouldn't they get paid for the usage of their land along with adequate education, housing, and education? Weren't all these things promised to them? They got the rug pulled out from underneath them.
- The Canadian government has violated almost every treaty ever signed. The British only look at the fine print when interpreting treaties, but Indigenous people take the entire context into account. This means that Indigenous people aren't getting what they were promised, like self-governing or a nation-to-nation relationship.
- The Indigenous people honored treaties with wampum belts and saw them as the start of an immortal friendship. On the contrary. the British saw treaties as a solution to a problem. This led to many problems still felt today.
