McKenna McBride Commission First Nations 12

McKenna-McBride Commission 1912 - 1916 Canada and British Columbia attempt to solve the “Indian Problem” A Royal Commission on Indian Affairs was sent to every First Nations Community in the Province (Including Nanaimo) What do you think the governments meant by Indian “Problem”?

Impacts of the Mckenna-McBride Commission Both governments agreed upon policies that asserted colonial control over land and ignored Aboriginal Title and Rights. The impacts of the governments' decisions and policies continue to be felt strongly by First Nations in British Columbia today.

Members of the Commission 1924 These men would visit every Indian Reserve in BC

Duncan Campbell Scott Deputy Superintendent of Department of Indian Affairs (1913 – 1932) Wanted full assimilation of First Nations Responsible for Residential School Policy (1920) Directs the McKenna McBride Commission

Back to the Mckenna-McBride Commssion Sent to every reserve in Canada The commissioners were supposed to see if the First Nations communities had enough land..

Cut-Off Lands Wherever reserves bordered cities or had economic potential, the Commission reduced the size of the reserves. The First Nations were not consulted. The Cut-Off lands were then sold.. But not to Natives…

More Bad Land, Less Good Land At the time, the land cut off had an assessed value of $1,533,704.72, with the average acre valued at $32.36. At the time, the land added had an assessed value of only $444,838.80, with the average acre valued at $5.10.

Commission at Nanaimo River

First Nations Response Empathize – How do you think the First Nations felt about both the Canadian Government and the British Columbian Government working against them? Suggest – What do you think the First Nations of BC should do?
