1534

John Cabot sailed to Canada's East Coast ( Labrador) and claimed it for the King of England.

1497

Jacques Cartier claims the area now known as Quebec for the King of France.

1763

The British Crown released a Proclamation acknowledging ‘Indian title,’ but also creating a process by which this title can be extinguished – treaties. The right to acquire Indigenous land is reserved for the Crown – affirming nation-to-nation diplomacy, but mostly so the Crown can acquire First Nations’ land


Indigenous nations continue to make treaties – some willingly, some under outright coercion – with colonial governments to safeguard their land and way of life. In return for accepting white settlements, First Nations are generally promised an inalienable ‘reserve’ of their traditional territory to live on.

1800s


The Indian Act was passed : Indigenous people are no longer self-governed, reserves are sold to fund "civilizing" programs. Nations are broken up and existing leaders are not recognized. A Western electoral system is imposed; enfranchised citizens lose their status as "Indians". The goal is to assimilate Indigenous people into the mainstream society.

Since Indigenous Peoples will not voluntarily ‘civilize’ themselves (i.e. assimilate), the Canadian government decides to force them. It bans spiritual and cultural practices. Indian Affairs agents exercise totalitarian control over the lives of Indigenous people, forcing them to adopt European norms. Indigenous children are taken away from their families for schooling in settler culture.


1900s

1876

1960

‘Pan-Indian’ organizing and resistance begins with the formation of groups like the National Indian

Brotherhood. This pressure forces the Canadian legislature to consult Indigenous people on the
Indian Act for the first time. The Act is reformed, and some of its more draconian aspects are softened

1940s

Indigenous people ("Indians") are given the right to vote in federal elections.

1985

Bill C-31 recognizes autonomy and land ownership to native Canadians.


The Nunavut, an official territory that comprises a major portion of northern Canada, is created, giving the Inuit a self-governing land.

1999

Three Indigenous women activists in Saskatoon lead a
teach-in on the omnibus Conservative bills affecting First Nations, which births the largest Indigenous mass movement in Canadian history : "Idle No More" calls for a renewal of the relationship between Canada and Indigenous Peoples.

2008

Prime Minister Stepehn Harper offers a formal apology on behalf of Canada over residential schools (the last one closed in 1996)
