You want the honest story of Ontario. No native tribe owns or has ever owned the land we call Ontario. Tribe after Tribe, came, conquered and cleared out competitors. Nobody, even Native Tribes could own the land, because nobody held the land. heck, Tribes weren't developed beyond Humanities Hunter/Gatherers. The inevitable came, that was the Old World's humanity, reached out and found the East Coast of North America. Problem was, those earliest of European Settlers were massively developed and were coming. Unfortunately, Europeans were carrying on them, viruses, and other Old World health issues no Native Tribe could deal with. Neither did the Europeans know they were carrying on them illnesses. So along came Flu, Small Pox, whooping cough, german measles, etc. Just trading a blanket was a Death Certificate to the Native Tribes. But as different Europeans came and settled. Each did a different path of Tribe to European Settler government. I found the French Settlers didn't recognize Native Lands as Owners because Tribes couldn't produce information of who owned this land. Next, the Brits though, signed away goofy Treaty Agreements, to buy favor of the Tribes which French Leaders didn't. So Ontario, as we call it now has really messed up Treaties and constant fights today over Treaties that were signed ages ago without any forethought pertaining to today. You know, how do you deal with a group of Hunter-Gathers, with no development and you the incoming Settlers were breaking into the Industrial Age of Humanity. Natives if anything, received 8000 years of human advancement in less than 150 years of existence. Think about that for a moment. Who got the better deal of advancement? You are a Native Tribe, still haven't invented the Wagon Wheel, still pissing behind pine trees. Then, a fella in funny looking cloths comes with goofy looking collars around his neck. He offers you a bag of blankets, steal spoons, and mirror, maybe an iron axe and box of matches. It's like winning the lottery today. The funny looking fella asks for a bunch of dirt from river bank to river bank. Well, of course you say OK. You don't own jack squat, it has no value to you. And that's the last place you took a dump any how. But you know, in all of this, liberal academics put way too much spin onto the reality of what transpired then. No Native had any value in what may have existed below the ground in Natural Resources. Even, the best of European smart fellas had no experience, but they did have the know how to exploit Natural Resources because of technology of 8000 years to exploit natural resources. So when modern today's academics point to European Expansion into Ontario or North America. I kind of chuckle at the lack of appreciation of what was Europe like in 1500 to 1700. It wasn't folks very good for common folks. It was called the Dark Ages for a reason. If you were a Commoner in Europe at that time. Life sucked. Could you own land in Europe as a penniless Commoner. NOPE. So along comes a posting a Church House Door. Looking for Settlers, you sign up for 2 years Crown Service in the New World. In return for your service, the Crown will reward you with 1000 acres of Land. -- be honest folks, you couldn't get the pen in your hand fast enough to sign up.
