Unit 3: The Canadian Tale (Tle G1_gr1)

 The Aboriginals and the Canadian government

The document under study is an extract from a newspaper article from the Guardian, published in 2019. It deals with how the Canadian government does not respect the lands of Indigenous people. In fact, a petrol company would like to build a pipeline that is crossing Indigenous’ lands. On top of that, they would like to build them without their consent. As a result, the Aboriginal people protested to block the construction of the pipeline.

This reveals that the relationship between the Canadian government and the Indigenous people is complicated because even if the government gives a warm welcome to every immigrant coming to Canada, they do not respect the peoples from the First Nations of their country. Therefore, the latter feel left out and abandoned by the Canadian government.

Besides, the Canadian government took decisions and signed documents against the Aboriginals’ will to take advantage of them and their lands.

Homework: Learn the lesson.
