Then add the layer that they were refugees and colonial settlers... whose ancestors wiped out the actual ancestral indigenous nation the Neutral Confederacy ~120 years prior in the Beaver Wars

Who, like Brant's people and the Huron spoke an Iroquoian tongue unrelated to the Algonkian languages of the Anishinaabe Ojibway and the Cree that were there before the Iroquoians showed up with their corn and their forts....

After the Inuit and Vikings met up in Newfoundland.

I love history.

They were pretty well wiped out by the Mohawk and Iroquois Confederacy, who killed, took them as slaves or assimilated them into Mohawk bands, while pillaging their land and resources.

100% understood that part.

I use them often a case study when talking with peers and others about the complexity of First Nation history and trying to define things cleanly.
The French-Huron alliance vs. the British-Iroquois battles of history and yet who is original owners of the land today?

It's like trying to say the borders of Europe today are the exact same over history and that no invasions/mergers/purges or other dastardly events occurred in years past.

My time in Peterborough introduced me to the Hiawatha Ojibway, Mississauga Anishinaabe. They arrived on Rice Lake in the 1600s. The Anishinaabe are part of the Algonquian peoples that originated in the Eastern Woodlands of the US and trace their lineage back, legitimately, to at least 3100 BC based on archaeological evidence. The Anishinaabe began their migration up the St Lawrence from the Gaspesie somewhere about 700 AD.

The Iroquois didn't show up until somewhere about 1100 AD. Coincidental with the Mediaeval Warm and desertification in the Arizona area.

Leader of upstart provincial party visits Kamloops, calls for end to Aboriginal title rights​

The controversial leader of an upstart right-wing political party is looking to make inroads in Kamloops, with plans to fight Aboriginal title rights in the B.C. Legislature as cases play out in court.

Vancouver-Quilchena MLA Dallas Brodie, leader of the OneBC Party, spoke to about 60 people Thursday standing on a cul de sac in the 1800-block of Rogers Place.

The event was billed as a meet and greet at which the issue of Aboriginal title would be a topic of discussion.

Brodie laid out numerous actions her party would take in this area if it formed government, adding her intent is to help the Indigenous people, and target those in positions of power who she claims are exploiting the current system.

And there are just as many female as male extremists too, it seems
