Why should Canada's Native people should be given the land they were promised in treaties signed with the government?

Practically the answer is your question. The natives' should get there land because both the parties agreed to sign the treaties in order to get something in return. In the natives' case, one thing was the land that THEY lived on orignally. The Canadian government (European at that time) came to THEIR country where they were already established and said "OK, we're going to come in here, take your land, but we'll be 'nice' and let you keep some of your things." Native means 'being in the place or enviornment that you were born in' and they were their first and they deserve the land that was agreed upon. 'Cause the European jerks though they were better so they took the Native's land. That's why.
