Confederation in 1867 significantly impacted First Nations in Canada by altering their political, social, and economic landscapes. The new federal structure often marginalized Indigenous voices and interests, as the federal government assumed responsibility for Indigenous affairs, leading to policies that aimed to assimilate First Nations into Euro-Canadian society. Treaties were often ignored or misinterpreted, resulting in loss of land and resources. Additionally, the establishment of the Indian Act in 1876 further entrenched colonial control, restricting First Nations' self-governance and cultural practices.

The First Nations were largely not in favor of Confederation in 1867, as they were concerned about the potential loss of their lands and autonomy. Many Indigenous leaders felt that Confederation would lead to increased encroachment on their territories and undermine their sovereignty. While some Indigenous groups sought to negotiate terms that would protect their rights, the overall sentiment among First Nations was one of skepticism and resistance to the new political framework.

In Canada, the fathers of Confederation did not think of First Nations as citizens of the new country. After Confederation, a special government department was created to decide how the First Nations people should live. Many First Nations were forced to live on reserves. These people were not allowed to vote. If they wanted to vote, they had to leave their reserves & begin living like the Colonists did. This meant they had to farm or move to a city.

The pros of Confederation for First Nations included the potential for greater political representation and influence within a unified Canadian framework. It offered an opportunity for First Nations to negotiate treaties and agreements that could protect their rights and land. Additionally, Confederation could lead to improved infrastructure and resources, as the new government sought to promote development across the country, which could benefit Indigenous communities. However, these benefits were often overshadowed by the challenges and impositions that followed.
