editCanada's influence on Apartheid
editA while ago, I met with an Indigenous (Ojibway) Elder. He was talking about Canada being the blueprint for Apartheid in South Africa. He cited the government forcing people onto specific lands (Reserves in Canada), forbidding these people to leave the area without permission and "numbering" them (what we call Status Indian). While there do appear to be these similarities, to what extent did Canada influence the development of Apartheid? 142.46.150.122 (talk) 18:02, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- You are looking for Bourgeualt, R (1988). "Canada Indians: the South African connection". Canadian Dimension. I can't find a copy but there are a few authors discussing, e.g.[1], "Canada Indians: the South African connection".—eric 19:15, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
- We have articles on Status Indian and Non-status Indian, Canadian Aboriginal law, and The Canadian Crown and Indigenous peoples of Canada which may be of interest. DuncanHill (talk) 21:15, 8 January 2020 (UTC)
