Document Summary
America prior to others arrival on its shores. Over the past 250 years aboriginal peoples have been largely dispossessed of their lands and resources in canada. dispossession has led to another aboriginal pre-occupation. It is crucial to their survival as peoples. Its continuing occupation and/or reoccupation inspires their visions. Aboriginal peoples regard their traditional lands as sacred; it is integral to their culture and identity. They want to continue living on territories that have sustained them for thousands of years. Yet the crown now claims occupation of traditional aboriginal lands. When the crown claims more land, this leads to conflict. Aboriginal peoples desire to hold onto their lands and resources to be more productive and preserve their ancient relationships. They struggle to resist further removal from their territories. They do not want the size of their territories further diminished. Therefore, aboriginal peoples have attempted to protect and sustain their relationships to land and resources in many ways.
