Abstract

The native peoples of Canada represent approximately five per cent of the country’s population. They live along the three ocean coasts of the country as well as inland, and have been on the continent for thousands of years. During the 17th and 18th centuries, the then British colonial power entered into various treaties with them, sometimes for purposes of peace and friendship, and sometimes to guarantee territory and trade.
