This is the best summary I could come up with:
Although many Dakota communities fought for the British against the United States during the War of 1812, they weren’t recognized as Indigenous people in Canada.
There is historical evidence that, at various times, there were Dakota settlements in the 18th and early 19th centuries in southern Saskatchewan, as well as Manitoba and northwest Ontario.
The move meant the nations weren’t included in the multimillion-dollar treaty land entitlement process in Saskatchewan and Manitoba.
One of his main goals coming out of Monday’s apology is moving toward economic reconciliation, and they want to generate their own-source revenues to enhance the services that Dakota Nation members need in the community, located 120 kilometres west of Winnipeg, Smoke said.
He added the federal government needs to work with the different Dakota Nations based on their unique experiences and not as one group moving forward.
Smoke, Brown and Tacan all agreed while the apology is exciting, there’s still a lot to do when it comes to the legality of different agreements and reconciliation.
