Yes. Canada's treatment of and relationship with First Nations has been bad, very bad, and criminal. The attitude of previous governments has generally been, "Why don't they just accept that they are a colonized people and get over themselves."

The attitude of the First Nations people is this: No justice, no peace.

This is a long sad story with some progress occasionally -- land claims settled in some provinces, bands becoming self-sustaining. Climate change is affecting many of the communities in the north. The struggles will continue.
