Many First Nations opposed Confederation in 1867 because they feared it would lead to the erosion of their sovereignty and land rights. They were concerned that joining Canada would undermine their self-governance and control over their territories, as they had existing treaties and relationships with the British Crown. Additionally, there was a lack of consultation with Indigenous peoples during the Confederation process, leading to distrust and a sense of exclusion from the decision-making that affected their future.
