history

SQ 11: why were the following important? 

Pulp and paper in Eastern Canada. Its is important for the Canadian economy, its also important for artist, readers, and righters, people also use paper to communicat with others, it is also a hug export for Canada.

Gold in the Caribou and and Klondike. It is why the west coast was settled, it help make the history in the west coast it is also a valuable resource and export for the Canadian economy.

Fishing in the Maritimes and BC. It is important to the economy because people like me love sea food, and hug amounts are taken out of both oceans every day.

Mining in Ontario and Quebec. It is good for the economy because jules and minerals are very expensive and lots of people want/need things like tools, technology, and julery, so the economy makes lots of money off these.

Q1.  Each of these "important" industries still exist today.  They are each a form if resource extraction.  Find (internet) a FN negatively effected by 2 of these forms of resource extraction. 
Attiwapiskat and diamond mining:  it distroys the earth and traditional hunting and fishing, also most natives won't work there because it goes against their beliefs, and the money for having the mine go's to First Nations trust that is controlled by the government. Also most people in Attiwapiskat live shack's and don't have a proper school and education.

KI First Nation and logging:  the KI village is located in the boreal forest in Northern Ontario. Logging rights were given to the logging company's given by the government to cut down all the trees they won't. Logging effects hunting for the FN'S witch they rely on. Because the logging rights were given to the logging company by the government the KI people can't cute down trees to use for fire wood, repairs, and to build homes and building's. It cost to much to ship wood all the way to Northern Ontario.

Q2. How does resource extraction break our treaty rights? (Google First Nations rights section 35 of the constitution). Section 35 protects Native rights. The Supreme Court says that this means Natives must be consulted on anything that effects their land an rights.
