Abstract | The document presents a comparative study of racial discrimination towards American Indians in Canada and the United States. The main focus disputes the belief that Canadian Indians were treated more humanely because of 2 factors: (1) Indian wars raged throughout the history of the U.S. and less so in Canada, and (2) unlike the U.S., treaties were strictly adhered to in Canada, thus reducing legitimate dissatisfaction to a minimum. The Canadian Government had more control over the Indians because of 4 classes of people--the fur traders, the churchmen, the Federal policemen (Royal Canadian Mounted Police), and the Indian agents. The influence of these groups upon the Canadian Indians is discussed. (FF) |
