Since the formation of Canada in 1867, much of the relationship has been based on two distinct language groups: the Francophone and the Anglophone. Despite the colonization of Canada centuries earlier and the nation-to-nation agreements before and after the formation of Canada, the First Nations people have been part of the Canadian periphery. The conclusion of the Meech Lake Agreement and the Charlottetown Agreement are examples of the continued positioning of First Nation people in the hinterland of Canadian political and legal action. This conduct of business has thwarted the original arrangements of “nation-to-nation” agreements that were created for the supposed benefits of both states. Regardless of these previous provisions, the Canadian government, both provincial and federal, has left First Nations people in the dark, unacknowledged, without their own tools of legal and political process. Therefore, the Meech Lake and Charlottetown Accords were direct attacks by the Canadian government on the treaties of the First Nation Peoples and their rights and freedoms as dictated in the Constitution of Canada. Both agreements, Meech Lake and Charlottetown, were a direct disregard of the past relationship between Canada and the First Nations people, so to understand the effects of these agreements it is important to understand the pretext preceding the new constitutional framework under the Trudeau administration . Canada is a country based on colonialism through the countries of France and England. For centuries there has been a strict recognition of this duality rather than an all-encompassing vision of Canada as three separate nations living harmoniously.
