4) the treaties are becoming more into what they were meant to be and not the first nations not getting the entire deal.

5) Today the treaty is not as big of a thing as what it used to be back then. Back then the day they thought it was so good because they recieved many things from it. Althogh they were not seen as equal to the Eurpoeans they got alot from it. Im a European and if we never signed the treaty then my dad may not own all of the land that he does today to farm on. That is one way it affects me. The treaty should always be updated to preserve them, and its good for both Europeans and First Nations people as both benfit and sacriface from it.

6) If you never signed treaty, then you would not get eduaction or health care. The metis people think that they should be reaciving treaty because they are of Aboriginal desent. If the metis people were part of treaty then they would get healthcare and education.
