Make a questionnaire/poll with at least 5 questions that aims to see if people think the Native Treaties are fair.

  • Ask hypothetical questions that are similar to the situation in history or with government.
  • Don’t mention the treaties, don’t mention fairness or the Aboriginals.
  • Start with a situation (similar to Aboriginal situation), then find out if people would agree with an option or not (similar to part of the treaties).

eg:

1) If you own a house with 10 rooms and you’re struggling to pay rent, would you sell off all your rooms and ask to put aside one for you to live in? = Aboriginals gave up the land because of struggling economy but kept reserve lands

2) If you own a car and you’re starving, would you sell your car for a Vitamix? = Aboriginals gave up land rights for farming equipment

http://www.polleverywhere.com/  or use Google Drive – Forms

Conclusion (post on blog):

  1. Summarize each poll question result and what that means about the fairness of the Aboriginal Treaties.
  2. State whether or not the treaties seem fair to people.

Aboriginal Treaties 2 (Treaty #’s 6-7)

Make a questionnaire/poll with at least 5 questions that aims to see if people think the Native Treaties are fair.

  • Ask hypothetical questions that are similar to the situation in history or with government.
  • Don’t mention the treaties, don’t mention fairness or the Aboriginals.
  • Start with a situation (similar to Aboriginal situation), then find out if people would agree with an option or not (similar to part of the treaties).

eg:

1) If you own a house with 10 rooms and you’re struggling to pay rent, would you sell off all your rooms and ask to put aside one for you to live in? = Aboriginals gave up the land because of struggling economy but kept reserve lands

2) If you own a car and you’re starving, would you sell your car for a Vitamix? = Aboriginals gave up land rights for farming equipment
