"With formal policies like the 'Indian Act' (1876), Canadian state policies forced Indigenous peoples onto reserves, instituted patriarchal governance and destroyed cultural practices while legislating the annexation of territory (Smith 2005). European migration was, fundamentally, a tactic employed to secure the domination of white settlers over stolen land and resources."
