This practice was continued in some areas until the turn of the 21 st century; Sainte-Anne-du-Ruisseau, in Yarmouth Count, Nova Scotia is one example. The Acadians would ask First Nations people to fish eels at one location where eels were plentiful. However, the Deportation and Expulsion of the Acadian population and the nearly total decimation of the First Nations in Acadia have almost entirely severed this beautiful relationship in the 21 st century. This is a distinctiveness inherent to present day Acadians. th and 18 th century. The First Nation's Mi'kmaq people lived in this land of South Western Nova Scotia for 7000 years. They subsisted mainly by hunting and fishing. With basic materials of wood, bone and stone they skilfully crafted survival tools such as canoes, snowshoes, arrows, spears, axes, knives, fish weirs and animal traps. Their hunting ability was enhanced by the use of hunting dogs.

Extractions: I am a Indian Brook band member and I am writing to comment on the fishing dispute that has been going on the past few months. I have gone to Digby to the wharf that the band members from Indian Brook have been fishing off for the past two years and I sat back and watched the DFO boats out in the water watching every move of the fishermen. I feel that my people should be able to fish when they want and where they want. The government signed over treaties and they didn't have a problem with it then, but now we are fighting for the right that is ours and we shouldn't have to fight for it. The natives were the first ones here in Canada and we should be telling the non-native fishermen where to fish and when to fish not them telling us when and where to fish. I feel that is not right. Why can't everyone get along? Racism has been going on for the past few hundred years and it probably will go for the next hundread years. Jolene Marr
Extractions: T he Micmacs of eastern Canada and the northeastern corner of the United States (who prefer the phonetic spelling Mi'kmaq) first appeared in their homeland approximately ten thousand years ago. They call the region Mi'kma'ki. Archaeological evidence indicates that these first inhabitants arrived from the west and lived as hunters and gatherers attuned to the shifting, seasonal resources of the area. During the summer months they hunted and fished, sometimes venturing out to sea to hunt whales and porpoises. Their winter camps were inland, built along rivers and lakes so that they could augment their hunting by spearing and trapping eels and other water creatures. T keptan or saqmaw (district chief) presided in each jurisdiction, doubling as local ruler and delegate to the Grand Council Sante' Mawiomi. T he Grand Council was the governing body of the nation and was led by several officers, including a kji'saqmaw (grand chief), a putus (treaty holder and counselor), and a kji'keptan (grand captain, advisor on political affairs). The Sante Mawiomi determined where families might hunt, fish, and set up their wumitki T he Micmacs' first contact with Europeans did not surprise them or alter their worldview. A legend in which one of their spiritual beings traveled across the Atlantic to "discover" Europe taught that blue-eyed people would arrive from the east to disrupt their lives. Micmac people also knew the story of a woman who had a vision of an island floating toward their lands; the island was decked out with tall trees on which were living beings. Thus the Micmacs were not startled by the appearance of early explorers in sailing ships. Instead, they greeted the newcomers, set up a brisk trade with them, and looked forward to incorporating the strangers' new technologies into their own culture.

Extractions: Towards the Mi'kmaq People B efore and after Confederation, government policy regarding Canada's native population was aimed at absorbing the country's First Peoples into the majority white population. These policies were imposed without including native people in the decision-making process. Early contact between the leaders of the native peoples across Canada and the European explorers and their governments resulted in a number of treaties. These treaties were often not fully understood by the native leaders who signed them. They were written in French or English, the language of the European nation involved. Translations were usually inadequate. The French and British fought each other for control of North America and gained dominance over the native population. Treaties were signed with the native people, although the Europeans, did not see these early treaties as important. To the native people, these treaties were and are of great importance. To the Mikmaq people and to other native groups, the treaties were agreements that would last until time immemorial.

Extractions: "madawes" "kak" The Maliseet's name for themselves, Wolastoqiyik , or Wulustukieg, is derived from the word wolastoq , which means "beautiful river." Wolastoq (Wulustuk, or anglicized, Walloostook) is the Maliseet name for the St.John River. The Wulustukieg or Maliseet people thus call themselves the people of the St.John River, which shows the extent to which they identify with this region. Introduction: "Land Grants" and their relationship to Native Peoples The lands that were granted by European and American governments to the settlers of North America, including in the St.John River valley, were in effect taken from the Native Peoples. Although the European states and the US negotiated treaties with various Native Peoples, recognizing implicitly a form of sovereignty or "ownership" over land, the European theory of land ownership also held that, since the natives had done nothing to "improve" the land, they had forfeited their right to own it. Indeed, the Natives' sovereignty turned out to be of a very limited kind, and as the demand for land increased among European settlers and their descendants, the various governments assumed sovereignty over that land, allowing the land of the Natives to be taken by treaty, deception, and at times by force. As the European-descent population increased, the pressure to take land likewise increased.

Saskatchewan: University of Saskatchewan Native Law Centre. Alfredsson, Gudmundur. "International Law, International Organizations and Indigenous Peoples." (1982), 36 Journal of International Affairs The author analyzes the remedies and avenues for redress available in international law and organizations for human rights violations against indigenous peoples. He also examines specific provisions in the Charter of the United Nations relating to the domestic jurisdiction rule and argues that most states could not successfully invoke this rule because, as parties to international agreements, they have consented to the competence of others to discuss state performance in areas covered by the agreements. The author also examines the principle of the right to self-determination and puts forth five possible meanings and potential beneficiaries. He concludes that most indigenous peoples are excluded from the exercise of external self-determination partly because of the territorial and sovereignty arguments advanced by metropolitan states. He asserts, however, that this does not mean that internal self-determination does not apply. American Indian Law Centre. "Special Issue." (1974), 7
