5. How might worldviews affect the way people feel about the land and its resources. (treaty 6) canada sask

The Anglo settlers and First Nations have different worldviews regarding resources like land and wildlife like the bison. For the First Nations these are shared resources and not property in either the colonial or later Canadian or American legal sense.

Explanation:

Different cultures have different worldviews on the way that land and resources are used. One example is the tension that continues to exist today between the Canadian government which represents the Anglo Canadian majority and the various First Nations. Treaty 6 for example is an agreement between the Canadian Crown and the Plains and Woods Cree as well as other bands. As one of 11 treaties signed in the 1870s with the First Nations who had faced decades of threats from smallpox and the dwindling supply of bison, Treaty 6 and others like it lay out the terms for the establishment of reserves where the First Nations would cede their lands to the Crown. They would gain rights of usage on crown lands that would at least in theory help to keep the lands freer from white anglo settler encroachment. The Indigenous representatives asked for access to medical supplies and on-reserve education, as well as basic protections from disease outbreaks and famine.  The First Nations did not have the same worldview on the possession of land as they viewed resources as something common and shared.
