From the very beginning the Indians (now called first nation people) were dealt with as extremely infererior beings by the white settlers. As more people began to populate the new world, the natives were forced off of ther own land and made to live on small plots aloted to them by the government. Unfortunately, the soil was poor and not many of the natives knew how to farm, resulting in high mortality rates. There was a point where the conditions were so poor that the native people were almost entirely wiped out. | |||
