Getting kinda sick of the "the're a conquered" people argument too. First Nations were not conquered in Canada. They were initially held in high regard by the first European inhabitants (the fur-traders). It wasn't until the settler's showed up that confrontation was encountered when the government out east starting partitioning up the land and "selling" it. The settler's believed they now "owned" the land, while the First Nations had no concept of land ownership at all.
So why'd they fight each other? (the natives, I mean)(honest question, I'm forgetting high school with every day that passes)
