Queen Victoria 1837-1901 Attitude and behavior set the standard in British Empire. Advancements in technology and medicine  not all benefited

Victorian Times: How did people view Indians? Positive Negative Warrior Noble Strong Smart Savage Animal Uncivilized

Land Issues Forced onto Reserves as European Immigration and settlement occurred Reserves: tract of land to be used for the benefit of a band.

1857 Gradual Civilization Act Assimilation was the goal: by making Aboriginals citizens Full citizenship is called enfranchisement If they became citizens, they would lose their rights they’d already attained (treaty rights, protected status)

Indian Act 1876 Defined “who was an Indian” What rights they had in Canada Made Aboriginal Peoples the “responsibility” or “wards” of the government : the act stated any woman who marry indian is indian any indian woman marry white is white. Resources could be taken away from reserves for the purpose of the queen. Had to carry around status card in and out of reserves.

1885 Ceremonies banned Ceremonies and rituals such as the Potlatch and Sundance are made illegal

Residential Schooling Children were taken away to schools run by various churches and funded by the government First Nations languages were prohibited; along with traditional religious practices were forbidden

Dr. Duncan Campbell Scott - 1920 I want to get rid of the Indian problem. Our objective is to continue until there is not a single Indian in Canada that has not been absorbed into the body politic and there is no Indian question, and no Indian Department...”

T/P/S Identify the stereotypes being used

St Paul’s IRS (North Vancouver)

Residential Schooling Sexual and physical abuse common Last school did not close until 1990s When they got out, many did not find acceptance in cities and felt unconnected to their own communities Legacy of abuse remained

60’s scoop  children still taken away from their homes as parents were seen as unfit

What responsibility does the current Canadian government have to address this injustice of the past? What should/could be done?
