Since the time of European First Contact, the course of Aboriginal
history in Canada has been deeply altered by relations with Europeans
and the laws they imposed on aboriginals - laws like
the Indian
Act. Furthermore, major and minor treaties played a significant
and important role in charting the course of European - Aboriginal
relations within the country.
This section of the Canada in the Making site will look
at these treaties and laws, and the events that preceded and followed
these changes.
