B3.3 describe some ways in which First Nations, Métis, and Inuit individuals, communities, and/or advocacy groups responded to and/or tried to influence relations with governments in Canada prior to 1980 (e.g., the Penetanguishene Métis Petition of 1840; the Red River Resistance or North-West Resistance; establishing organizations such as the League of Indians of Canada, the National Indian Brotherhood, or Inuit Tapirisat
of Canada; covertly holding banned ceremonies; resistance among Inuit to the numbered disc system of identification; issuing the Red Paper in response to the White Paper; testimony before the Berger Commission)
Sample questions: “Under what circumstances did First Nations, Métis, and/or Inuit resort
to armed resistance against the government?” “What were some similarities and differences between key events leading to, and the impact of, the Sayer Trial at Red River in 1849 and
the Mica Bay Incident of 1849–50?” “What ideas were expressed in the National Indian Brotherhood’s 1972 policy paper Indian Control of Indian Education? What was the paper a reaction to?”
