When British Columbia became a Canadian province in 1871, the Canadian government began to prepare it for settlement. The first step was to extinguish the Indian title to the lands. A series of treaties were negotiated from 1871 to 1877 with Indians living from northwestern Ontario to the eastern foothills of the Rocky Mountains. In return for moving to reserves, the Indians were to receive various subsidies and bonuses, educational facilities, rations, and a modicum of health care. Knowing well the disasters that had befallen the Indians in the United States who had resisted white expansion, the Indians in Canada acquiesced in the process. In the years that followed, however, the government frequently failed to live up to its treaty obligations. As the bison on which the Plains Indians depended disappeared, poverty, starvation, disease, and disaffection spread among the western tribes.

I agree with respondent number one. If you have a question, ask it. Do not send us off into a wild goose chase on the Internet.

Chow!!

Sorry, not interested in being shunted off to a website. You have a question, ask it. You want us to go off on a chase we have no idea of where it is going, forget about it.

I agree with the others, please ask a real question. The sites to which you have supplied links are either without information or what they offer is almost not understandable.
