Please don't mistake an ongoing political process for historical military conquest. Very little of Canada is territory captured via the spoils of war. The vast majority of Canada is subject to sharing agreements made between governments: treaties. The fact that economic apartheid and failure to honour treaties has left us in the current situation takes nothing away from the fact that indigenous ownership was the central governing concept at the basis of every treaty ever negotiated, whether or not they were ever signed.
