Hiya, folks! As my title suggests, I'm interested in learning about the legal organisation, rights and representation of Canada's First Nation communities at the beginning of the 20th century? To my extremely limited understanding, First Nations people had been, and would continue to be, subject to widespread and systematic disenfranchisement and exploitation by the Canadian government both prior to and long after the turn of the century. This said, what form/s did their legal status take around 1900? Was there any form of national unity or identity like that which we see encompassed in today's "First Nations" concept? How did indigenous leaders and populations succeed in leveraging what legal status they did hold?

Thanks!

Edit: Accidentally a word in the title, "Federal Government."
