Wasn't this a way for the natives to be guaranteed land of their own and the ability to maintain their heritage and distinctive society instead of being swallowed up the large masses of the rest of the population? Similar to how the Quebecois are very concerned about maintaining their heritage.

I don't know the history of the negotiations but I would not be surprised if these were some of the things the natives requested.
In old days the law seems preoccupied with westernizing Indians
Things like the Enfranchisement Act could make them official British subjects by relinquishing their Indian rights
Many of them took advantage, others protested
Current law essentially supersedes all provincial legislation and makes any interactions with them at a federal level

In 1985 most of the loss of Indian status issues (eg being a bastard, marrying outside tribe, voting in elections etc) were stripped away and recently government introduced legislation to recognize more status Indians (wrongly in my op)

depends were the irish, scots etc involved or just england
Its safe to say they were involved. In colonial times all those countries were ruled by England, and it was all the UK. Look into the history of some of those countries, and you will see the Irish and the Scots history is very similar to that of the Natives here. However if they stood up against parliament, it was treason, and they would be killed. Follow or die.

I think it's completely ridiculous and don't see how it can be deemed offensive. I'm of Irish heritage should I be complaining of the stereotypical name Fighting Irish? I could give two shits. There are way more important fish to fry. PC culture run amok.

Can we name a team the "Heathen Scalpers" as long as we don't use a logo?
