First nations aim to strive

Native Indians in Canada have been losing their identity gradually, this was due to government  control most aspects of aboriginal life: Indian status, land, resources, wills, education, band administration and so on. Politically this has created tension between both the natives and the government, which made them fight over lands and different laws regarding aboriginal rights.

Socially, the native Indians were being robbed of their identity, as said in the article “kill the Indian in the child”. This would create external conflicts for Canada, as the native Indians create a big percentage of the population, it would effect the business, as they own lots of lands, the Canadian government is trying to take those lands to make economical use of them by building factories.

Recently, The surrounding First Nations in northern Ontario have many concerns about the impact of a giant mining development on their land and traditional way of life. The went on strikes against the government and started rebelling against the laws this would result in delaying and potentially cancelling the project which was expected to generate $230 millions.

In conclusion, the Canadian government must be aware of the conflicts happening with the aboriginals as they have their rights to live on there lands, and I recommend them to make a mutually beneficial agreement by giving them parts of the profits in order for business to use their lands.
