ABORIGINAL ISSUES IN CANADANameInstitution AffiliationCourseDate of SubmissionAboriginal Issues in Canada1.0 IntroductionThe Aboriginal Canadians have for a long time been fighting for land issues. The European settlement in Canada had severe impacts on the original dwellers. The white settlers in Canada are the ones who led to negative changes in the lives of many people. The discussion will dwell on the land history issues to date and the variety of treaties that were laid forth during the acquiring of the land and the continuity of events after the aboriginal land was taken (Dickason & Long, 2011).
