The treatment from Canada wan’t really great. The bison population has rapidly decreased, which is the Metis main food source. It can be shown through scrips. These “scrips” were for the Metis, kinda like a ticket to recieved land. However, the Metis weren’t educated like the Canadians, so some lawyers used the scrips for himself and steel the land from the Metis. If the Metis go the court, then the Canadians will win because they are using Canadian laws (Metis laws don’t work)

    Needs some clarification here. With the scrip, think about whether or not Canada really cared about getting the land to the Metis. With the Laws of St Laurent, what did Lawrence Clarke do when two Metis broke the law? Also, what did the railroad do to the buffalo and how did that affect the Metis?
    Look at each event and then try to generalize how Canada treated the Metis.
