Take on the perspective of a representative from a particular First Nations (or Mtis) group from the period of Royal Proclamation of 1763, and French/English colonialism. From this perspective, write a personal response that you could present at an upcoming town-hall meeting. You are responding to the idea that Canada has just two founding nations the French, and the English. Your concern lies in the absence of Indigenous perspective. Think about representation, consultation, and consideration for matters pertaining to governments and negotiations over the land and people in the place that you have always lived. Remember, you are being asked to write as though you yourself are a member of the group. What mindset do you have? What is your world view? How do you view your history and your place in Canadian society? Your written response should be impassioned and written in a persuasive manner so that politicians at the town hall meeting may be swayed to address some of your concerns. Include supporting historical information that makes reference to each of the following elements: Illustrate how European-Indigenous relations had evolved from the onset of exploration through to the current colonial era. Discuss how indigenous people have experienced the effects of indigenous-European relations from the onset of settlement. Report on any matters that your particular Indigenous group is dealing with. This might include land claims, resource control, or social tensions. Discuss how your particular group is represented within the culture and identity of the newly established governing bodies, and what your group is doing to maintain their own culture and identity.
