the numbered treaties did not recognize the rights of the first nations because the first nations were shy and they thought what they received was good, but in reality their land was sold to make railways.

What laws recognize the collective rights of First Nations peoples in Canada?
Indian Act Numbered Treaties
What do first nations metis and inuit people of Canada have in common?
Canadians are not equal, some are "Canadian Plus". They have all the rights of Canadians PLUS extra rights due to archaic race treaties. But most Canadians do not agree with these race laws and benefits. That is where the term "First Nations" come from. Other terms have been used including Native and Indian. The problem with these terms is the obvious connection to race. The term "First Nation" has been adopted by those covered by race based treaties to avoid reminding people of the racial superiority claims. We know that those calling themselves First Nation were not "First Nations" just the surviving nations. The First Nations in Canada are lost to history many thousands of years ago but not in the case of the Inuit. The Inuit cannot claim "First Nation" we know the Dorset culture has the best claim to First Nation in the north but they were "displaced" by the Thule and then the Inuit. The Metis have a questionable First Nation claim because the treaties are race based and Metis have as little as one sixteenth of the needed blood. Today many Metis are Metis by culture, unable to prove their racial purity. First Nations people can prove their racial purity and have been numbered by the Canadian government. They alone can lay unquestionable claim to the rights given in the ancient race based treaties. Those rights and that special status is the common connection. Each have their own claims, some better than others but all of them want a piece of that special status and a piece of the multi-billion dollar industry that surrounds it.

What might treatys mean for citizenship in Canada today?
Treaties are very important for citizenship in Canada today because they make sure that first nations are given their rights to land, education, annuities and reserves. These treaties show that Canada’s government agreed to give first nations their rights rather than taking them away. It also established the principle of making treaties through peaceful negotiation.
Why were the first nations exluded from Canadian confederation?
They were not colonies and had their own treaties with Britain. Besides it would have been much harder to expand as Canada wanted if they had rights within the Confederation.
What was the purpose of the Indian Act and numbered treaties?
Treaties were numbered to keep track of them and the Indian Act was needed to bring them under Canadian control. The purpose was to put off for a future generation the issue of Aboriginal land and rights claims. Treaties themselves were meant to avoid or put off into the future a war for land and control, or at least as much as possible. There were still battles and wars fought but for Britain treaties worked very well. Not so well for the Aboriginals. They have not worked so well for Canada either. The treaties, the very idea of such treaties come from a time in which a persons race was used to determine their class and the rights they could expect. As a result such Treaties are race based. They were not based on any Nation status, just race and area, a way to keep the races apart. Which is why South Africa used them as a model for their apartheid. Even by the end of the 1800's when Canada was taking over from Britain the idea that a persons race should determine everything was being questioned but it was easier to just continue what Britain had started. Today after the racial genocide of WWII and the Civil rights movements of the later half of the 20th century many Canadians believe as stated in their Charter of Rights that people should not be discriminated against (or for) based on race. Yet the Indian Act and the treaties are fundamentally racist, segregating people by their race, with access to Canadian resources and government programs being determined by race. Regardless of how long a persons family has lived in Canada, even if it has been 500yrs, if they are not perceived as being of a race covered by treaties, they cannot achieve, or work towards having equal rights. As long as Canada holds to such race based laws and treaties a Canadians human rights will depend on that Canadians race. But to extend equal rights to all Canadians regardless of race is to deal with the original purpose of the Treaties and the Indian Act. That will mean that some parts of Canada will want to leave the Confederation. Some of those parts are worth fighting to keep in Canada. The real purpose of the Indian Act and the numbered treaties is to put off that conflict at least until the next generation. So it has been, and so it will be, at least for now.
