Today, it is a common perception that Aboriginal peoples in Canada have the right to self-government to provide the opportunity to manage historical, cultural, political, health and economic control aspects within First Nations communities. First Nations peoples had been established and established trade routes through what is now Canada between 500 BC. C. and 1000 A.D.
Missionary work aimed at the aborigines of Canada had been ongoing since the first missionaries arrived in the 17th century, mostly from France, some of whom were martyred (Jesuit saints are called Canadian martyrs). In 1973, Canada resumed signing new treaties and agreements with indigenous peoples to address their land claims. Indigenous peoples produced art for thousands of years before the arrival of European colonists and the eventually establishment of Canada as a national state. British Columbia has more first nations than any other province, but, nevertheless, almost none of the provinces are covered by historic land-sharing treaties with the government.
More than 52,000 people of mixed race, First Nations or Inuit descent live in this rainy city on the west coast, and it's hard to ignore the great impact and presence of indigenous culture in the area. Following Canada's acquisition of Rupert's Land and the Northwest Territory in 1870, the First Nations and the Crown signed the eleven numbered treaties between 1871 and 1921.However, in fact, most indigenous peoples live in Canadian cities and, according to the latest census, First Nations, who live outside reservations, mixed-race people and Inuit are the fastest growing populations in the entire country. The government inherited treaty obligations from British colonial authorities in eastern Canada and signed treaties itself with the First Nations of Western Canada (the Numbered Treaties). Located near the heart of Canada's landmass, the city of Winnipeg, located on the prairies, is home to the country's highest Aboriginal population (78,420 of the city's 663,617 inhabitants) and also the highest per capita proportion of indigenous residents, that is, almost 12 percent of the population.
Aboriginal Canadians or Indigenous Canadians are the indigenous people of Canada who still reside in Canada today. Mixed-race and Inuit people rank second among the largest population in the First Nations, another city in Alberta, Edmonton, the capital of the province. Canada is surrounded by coastline to the north, east and west and, since the last ice age, Canada has been formed by different forest regions. According to some scholars, the laws and policies of the Canadian government, including the residential school system, which encouraged or required indigenous peoples to assimilate into a Eurocentric society, violated the United Nations Convention on Genocide that Canada signed in 1949 and approved in Parliament in 1952.
