The coexistence between British Canadians and First Nations peoples was marked by significant challenges, including cultural misunderstandings, land disputes, and differing governance systems. British expansion often led to the displacement of Indigenous communities and the erosion of their traditional practices. Additionally, treaties were frequently misinterpreted or ignored, resulting in conflicts over resources and rights. These challenges have had long-lasting effects on relationships and socio-economic conditions for both groups.

The British Empire once controlled North America, India and Australia. Many other nations were also part of the British Empire.
At one time some of the countries in Africa were part of the British empire. Now they are independent, but some are members of the Commonwealth of Nations, an organisation that has some of the old British empire countries as members.
Australia, New Zealand, Canada and Ireland were all once part of the British Empire, as they were British colonies. Australia, New Zealand and Canada are now all members of the Commonwealth of Nations. Ireland is not a member of the Commonwealth of nations.

The Great Deportation was the expulsion of 11,000 Arcadians between 1755 andÊ1763 from Arcadia by the British who had taken over this territory in 1713. Because the First Nation peoples were allies of the French Arcadians, this was a challenge that threatenedÊco-existence between the First Nation peoples and the British.
The coexistence between British Canadians and First Nations peoples has faced significant challenges, including land disputes, cultural misunderstandings, and systemic inequalities. The imposition of colonial laws and policies often marginalized Indigenous communities, leading to loss of traditional territories and resources. Additionally, differing worldviews and values regarding land use and governance have created friction. These challenges have resulted in ongoing tensions and efforts toward reconciliation and recognition of Indigenous rights.
Diplomacy, negotiations, and fostering mutual understanding through dialogue and peaceful conflict resolution methods such as mediation and arbitration are key strategies to ease tensions and promote peaceful coexistence between nations. Additionally, promoting cultural exchange, cooperation on shared challenges, and building trust through confidence-building measures can contribute to long-term peace and stability.
British relations with First Nations were characterized by a mixture of cooperation and conflict. Initially, the British relied on Indigenous peoples for trade, military alliances, and knowledge of the land. However, as colonial expansion progressed, tensions arose over land ownership, leading to dispossession, treaties often made under duress, and violence. This complex relationship was marked by both attempts at coexistence and significant cultural and social disruption for First Nations.

British Commonwealth of Nations
The British commonwealth of nations is largely composed of nations which were once part of the British empire.
In 1957 Mao Tse-Tung declared that a policy of peaceful coexistence with imperialistic nations would be followed to avoid conflicts and war. In a statement issued to all communist parties in 1963, he declared that peaceful coexistence was contrary to Marxist Leninist doctrine. He aimed his remarks at the peaceful coexistence policies of the Soviet Union.

Absolutely right.
The British Commonwealth is an obsolete name for what is now called the Commonwealth of Nations. It is an association of some 54 independent, sovereign nations, most (but not all) of whom were once part of the British Empire
The Commonwealth of Nations are all former colonies administrated/ruled by the United Kingdom. The British Empire 'evolved' into the Commonwealth of Nations after many of them gained independence.
