As hard as it is for an advanced and civilized society to understand the truth is that people thought this was the right thing to do to help the indigenous people of the day.

Yeah, that’s why they tried to transition them to an agrarian lifestyle, and then turned around and barred them from selling their product due to lobbying from white farmers.

And if you go and read any of the firsthand accounts of the conditions of FN reserves from that era you'll quickly find that they were appalling. 5x the birth rate and double the mortality rate.

Yes, and segregation and the pass system certainly wasn’t doing them any favours.

It was a really tough time for indigenous people in Canada and beyond.

No shit. I wonder why that was?
