  1. Chapter 8 Imperialist Policies and Practices

  2. The last chapter was the rise of imperialism in our world. • In this chapter we will look at how these imperialist practices affected the indigenous people of the world. • To what extent should societies be held responsible for the affects on these people.

  3. Chapter Issues • How well has Canada addressed the impacts of imperialism? • To what extent should contemporary society respond to the legacies of historical globalization?

  4. Read “White Man’s Burden” on page 159

  5. Imperial Economic Expansion in North America • Global expansion began in north and south America during the 15th century. • The Europeans discovered rich natural resources like cod and gold. • The drive for more pushed these governments to expand their empires.

  6. Canada’s history is traced back to French and British territorial expansion. • Both created colonies in the new world that promoted economic development, settlement, and military security.

  7. French and British Rivalry in North America • Trade was very lucrative. • Both sides wanted control of the fur trade. • Companies were created that would control the fur trade. • Economic and social rivalry continues until well into the 19th century. • Much of this rivalry led to conflict with the First nations

  8. Often the First Nations would join different sides of the wars between the French and English. • Religion became an issue between the English and French.

  9. At first the contact was quite cooperative. • The relationship was mutually beneficial. • Between 1701 and 1923 many treaties were. • The First Nations viewed these treaties as sacred agreements.

  10. Many of the treaties were misunderstood because of the language barrier. • The British expected First Nations to give up land for colonial settlement and to protect it from attack. • The First Nations had no concept of giving up land.

  11. Their culture shared the land with everyone and this difference between the two cultures were not written in these treaties. • When this was discovered trust and good faith were lost

  12. As the British continued to expand, the attitude changed for the welfare of the First Nations. • British ignored the treaties and replaced them with more paternalistic practices.

  13. Confederation • Canada gained confederation in 1867. • The confederation was created without any consultation with the First nations. • After confederation a department was created to deal with the First Nations • Read page 168 and what John A. MacDonald said.

  14. The CPR • Most of the west was occupied by different bands of First Nations that had been there for thousands of years. • The British and the colonial offices saw the west as being open for expansion and settlement.

  15. The advance of the CPR had life changing affects on the First Nations. • The land was taken from the First Nations. • They could no longer move around to hunt and fish.

  16. Comparisons • North America was not the only place where this all happened. • India went through the same type of experience. • The East India Company controlled the land and the people of India.

  17. During the 20th century, a man called Gandhi confronted the British over colonization. • He used pacifism to show his belief that the imposition of British culture on the Indian citizens was unjust.

  18. Look at the figure on page 171. • What does it say about the relationship between Gandhi and British colonial rulers in India

  19. Addressing Effects of Imperialist Policies • Think about the issues facing aboriginal peoples in Canadian society. • The threat of losing their culture and language was a real threat. • Should today’s society be held responsible for the actions of their ancestors?

  20. Aboriginal land Claims • The land claims go back a long way. • There are more than 70 treaties in Canada. • In some areas there are no formal agreements or treaties. • Land claims have not been settled.

  21. Each wants its traditional territory. • Many agreements have gone to the supreme court of Canada in order to be settled. • Read page 173 about one particular case. • See map on page 174 to see how many land claims have not been settled. • Read Dr. Maris Battiste on page 174 • Read page 175 • Read page 176-177
