Question

If Canada in 1867 had recognized First Nations as founding nations, along with the French

and English, and included First Nations in the Canadian government, how might Canada be
different today? Suggest 3 issues that might not have become the serious problems they
are today.

Answer 1

Throughout Canada's history, Indigenous peoples have helped shape this land into the country we know today. During the War of 1812, First Nations warriors and Métis fighters played important roles in the defence of these British territories against invading American forces.
