Order Paper NowYou will choose a topic from Category A (land and environmental challenges) AND from Category B (social and cultural challenges) – see the category list below. You should begin research by reading ahead through the units that offer the most directly relevant background for your assigned topic. You are also required to move beyond the course material and seek out current/recent primary or secondary resource materials to present further context and information about your assigned topic.
The research paper will be assessed on the student’s ability to use information from the textbooks, articles, films, and Internet research to provide context for understanding the assigned topic. As the paper will be ‘published’ in our class-only discussion forum, it will also be assessed according to its usefulness to others in understanding the two issues you have covered. Style, organization, spelling, and grammar will also be assessed as an overall presentation assessment.
General Guidelines for the completion of this assignment
- Getting started: Read the unit readings that correspond most directly to your topic (see Category A and B lists).
- Moving forward: Use the ‘Search’ fields in the websites provided (and others that you find through Google or Wikipedia for example) for current or recent news/blog items that can provide further context and information about your topic. NOTE: Copy-and-paste from websites into your essay is plagiarism, it is easy to detect, and is severely punished. Proper citation and referencing is expected (see reference guidelines below) for all quotes or excerpts. HOWEVER it is needless and lazy to copy-and-paste chunks of text from websites into your essay, even if properly cited and referenced. You must learn to paraphrase. Take the information you learn and work it into what you want to say in your own words.
- Continue to pay attention to these websites as you move along, as some reporters/bloggers publish frequent updates that will be useful for you.
Format for the paper
Your essay should have a short, concise introduction, a main body, and a conclusion.
- Introduction: Give a short summary of the issue at hand – one or two paragraphs.
- Main body: Outline the themes and facts and circumstances from the textbooks, article readings, and films (whenever applicable) that give background context and information about your topic. Use your current event resources from the Internet to relate that background to the present, so that the reader connects historical conditions directly to the present day. (Ie: What is the historical lead-up to this issue? How have certain government decisions and/or industrial enterprises impacted Aboriginal people’s lives, forcing reaction to this issue? How do aspects of cultural and economic sovereignty, law [Indian Act], and racism play into this issue?)
- Conclusion: Explain why it is important that non-Aboriginal Canadians – both long-standing and new Canadians – should examine these challenges as problems for all Canadians to work out together with the Aboriginal people affected. In other words, explain why challenges for Aboriginal people ultimately concern all of us in important ways. Explore the reasons why this is so.

Research Paper Outline Sariful Islam Ridoy 7870461 INDG 1240: Indigenous Peoples in Canada, Part 2 Laura Forsythe September 28, 2022 Abstract Before the coming of the Europeans, indigenous people were living an autonomous, self-governing existence. Not shortly after the Europeans came in the North, they gained control of the First Nation’s culture, religion, economy, legal system, and most important, their land. The 1763 Act, which was created to defend Aboriginal rights and to normalize relations between the British and Aboriginals to reap the benefits of peaceful land settlements, is one of the earlier treaties between the British and the First Nations. However, relatively few new ones were created following European colonization (Kulchyski, “The Royal Proclamation,” 26–28, 2007). The agreements show that promises of annuities, health care, and other perks were given in return. This article will compare we are treaty people campaign and Bipole III transmission to show how the social and cultural status of Indigenous people have been impacted by many factors. Introduction Prior to the advent of Europeans in the North, Native Americans were already creating their own unique culture, language, and social norms. As a result, different agreements on the occupation of Canada’s land were implemented through the employment of treaties between the two parties.

Comparing the views of ‘We all are treaty’ people campaign and John Warner- Views of John Warner’s on Indigenous people Impact of campaign on people Conclusion It is crucial that non-Aboriginals get knowledge about the subject to understand it and take measures to speak out against prejudice. It is a perilous act to destroy the cultural and social characteristics of the inhabitants of the land we are on. Traditional culture and customs are vanishing and causing cultural distress because of the injustice. (Canadian Aboriginals’ Experiences with Colonialism, 2018) In order to end the current conflict between Aboriginals and non-Aboriginals, it is crucial to understand and address who the Indigenous people in Canada are. Because most people will accuse Aboriginal people of various wrongdoings without having the necessary information. Education, information, and shrewd action are unavoidable if we are to put a stop to this disparity. Canada can never be calm from the inside due to the cruel past of colonization, which negatively impacted the functioning of many families and the ongoing problems experienced by the Aboriginal people (Effects of Colonialism to Canadian Aboriginals, 2018). There must be an end to the interruption. As a result, this article compares two issues, we are treaty people campaign and Bipole III transmission, to show how the social and cultural status of Indigenous people have been impacted by a variety of factors.
