How does historical globalization continue to affect people today?

Treaties  The treaties were documents signed all across Canada that essentially set out the parameters (the whats, the hows and the how much) of a working relationship between the Government of Canada and the First Nations people.  First Nations people began to see the benefit of education, medical and other ‘western’ practices and wanted to adopt certain aspects into their own culture  The treaties were seen as a way to lay out guidelines for the nature of this relationship  The Canadian government viewed the treaties in a completely different spirit than the First Nations people and often didn’t hold up any of the promises laid out in treaties. The oral and written histories of both peoples often got in the way and much was lost in translation.
