Before the early 15th century, when contact with European settlers was originally established, indigenous peoples were asked to succumb to settler colonization in an attempt to integrate into traditional culture. The initial purpose of colonialism was to be used as a tool to gain access to resources not otherwise available. As colonialism has evolved, it has become a method by which foreign populations move into unknown territories and attempt to remove the colonized group from the currently occupied space. Similar to other marginalized groups affected by colonialism due to the government in power, the indigenous peoples of Canada have struggled as a nation due to the unequal treatment they have encountered in the past. The governing bodies that control these indigenous communities have continued to have colonialist tendencies that attempt to place the needs of the white man above those of the indigenous people. Colonialism is not the only factor in the oppression of the rights and freedoms of indigenous peoples. They are also bills and bills that have been or attempted to be passed by the Government of Canada; effectively removing Indigenous communities from their deserved lands, in an effort to further promote the development of non-Indigenous peoples in Canada. This article will critically discuss the oppression that Indigenous peoples of Canada have experienced by examining the loss of socio-economic stability and environmental spaces due to the past and present actions of the Canadian government. In 2005, an intergovernmental agreement was initiated between the Liberal government of Canada and the leaders of national Aboriginal organizations. The treaty was known as the Kelowna Agreement.

In accordance with the law, any family living on the occupied land would be compensated and relocated provided they have the necessary land permits and pay taxes. Due to the economic situation of the 1930s, very few families residing in Ste. Madeleine met these requirements. This resulted in their displacement and expropriation of land and property, while other non-indigenous farmers were given their land. Ste. Madeleine was a situation where Metis framers were forced to leave their lands, with minimal compensation, to provide land for Euro-Canadian farmers. This event can be examined as another example of Canada's policy of oppression, assimilation and dispersal of its indigenous peoples.
