North-West Rebellion

The North-West Rebellion (or North-West Resistance or the Saskatchewan Rebellion) of 1885 was a brief and unsuccessful uprising by the Métis people of the District of Saskatchewan under Louis Riel against the Dominion of Canada, which they believed had failed to address their concerns for the survival of their people. Despite some early victories at Duck Lake, Fish Creek and Cut Knife, the rebellion resulted in the destruction of numerous Métis and allied First Nations forces.

Genetic history of indigenous peoples of the Americas

The haplogroup most commonly associated with Indigenous Amerindian genetics is (Y-DNA) Q1a3a /Q-M3. In human genetics, the haplogroups generally studied are Human Y-chromosome DNA haplogroups and Human mitochondrial DNA haplogroups. The Q-M3 mutation on the Q lineage is roughly 10,000 to 15,000 years ago, as the migration throwout the Americas was underway by the early Paleo-Indians.

Paleo-Indians

Paleo-Indians or Paleoamericans are believed the first peoples to enter and inhabit the Americas during the final glacial episodes of the late Pleistocene period. The few agreements achieved to date are their origin from Asia, with migration and widespread habitation of the Americas during the end of the Last glacial period, or more specifically what is known as the Late Glacial Maximum, around 16,000–13,000 years before present.

Status of First Nations treaties in British Columbia

The status of the First Nations, aboriginal people of British Columbia, Canada, is a long-standing problem that has become a major issue in recent years. In 1763 the British Crown declared that only it could acquire land from First Nations through treaties. Historically only two treaties were signed with the First Nations of BC. The first of which was the Douglas Treaties of 1850–1854 with the second being Treaty 8, signed in 1899.

T
The Canadian Crown and Aboriginal peoples

The relationship between The Canadian Crown and Aboriginal peoples of Canada stretches back to the first interactions between European colonialists and North American indigenous peoples. Over centuries of interaction, treaties were established concerning the monarch and aboriginal tribes. Canada's First Nations, Inuit and Métis peoples have come to generally view these agreements as being not between them and the ever-changing Cabinet, but instead with the continuous Crown of Canada, as embodied in the reigning sovereign.
