加拿大的土著民问题与“土著权利”和“条约权利”有着十分密切的关联。这两种权利衍生于两大类法律和条约:一类是《印第安人法》及其形成后百余年来的各种修正案;另一类是殖民者或加拿大自治领当局代表英国王室与由一些酋长和头人所代表的各个部落土著民以及其他方面缔结的不平等条约。由于这些法律和条约具有不易变更的性质,使弱小的加拿大土著民现在乃至将来在维护自己的权益时,只能渐进地去改变自身极为不利的处境。
The problem of indigenous peoples in Canada is closely related to “indigenous rights” and “treaty rights.” These two rights are derived from two broad categories of laws and treaties: the first is the Indian Act and its various amendments over a hundred years after its formation; the other is the colonial or Canadian Dominion authority representing the British royal family and the The unequal treaties concluded by indigenous peoples of various tribes represented by chiefs and chiefs and others. Because of the non-volatile nature of these laws and treaties, the very small, indigenous Canadians, now and in the future, can only progressively change their own extremely disadvantaged situation while defending their rights.
