The Aboriginals in the article just got recognition form the federal government of there status. So, we are finding that by new acknowledgements, the 'traditional' lands and seas usage was all over Canada. Settlements are where Aboriginal were found and forced to stay or move to. Another Province has come out with an apology outside of provinces like Ontario, which has a large Indigenous population that can't move outside provincial boundaries and be Aboriginal. By acknowledging their status we are seeing what Aboriginals are and denying this makes no sense.
Depending on where you were it wasn't such a bad thing to get out of the reserve very young.......
