When the Europeans first settled in the east, many First Nation tribes fought to keep their land. When they lost their land they moved into the west. This was no problem in the beginning, however; the problem emerged when the CPR was created, starting in the east, and began to move more and more Europeans out west. The First Nations were forced even farther west until the CPR was completed "from coast to coast" and the First Nations had no where else to go. Without the CPR, the Europeans would not have settled as quickly into the west, leaving the First Nations more time to fight for their land.

When they were doing the colonisation, it was positive. When Europeans were doing the coloisation negatively, the measure being the amount of land being controlled. Today Native people get most of their income from colonisers for being colonised, which could be considered lemon-aid from lemons.

How did the first nations affect the europeans?

Well, when Christopher Columbus and Jaque Cartier came, the first nations gave them everything they had. Then the europeens used first nations as slaves. If the first nations didn't listen to the europeens they would be killed. That's exacty what happened. That's why today in North America we don't have many first nations left, soon they'll all be gone. So do we really like Christopher colombus because he dicovered North America? But we also have to remember that he distroyed the First people of Canada!
