No, it's not. If you had looked, you would see they rarely involved the Government of Canada. Those that did (like the Red River Resistance) were settled with treaties, not conquest 

Most of those treaties where signed by the British crown , which at the time we were a British colony everyone was a British citizen....It was not until 1947 that Canadians were Canadians. On their pass ports, even then it said Canadian  Before this, all residents of Canada, whether born in Canada or naturalized immigrants, were considered British subjects. 

• Even after the 1947 act, Canadian passports still included the phrase "A Canadian citizen is a British Subject". 
• It wasn't until the 1977 Citizenship Act that the phrase "A Canadian citizen is a British Subject" was removed from Canadian passports. 
• Canada's "birthday" is July 1, 1867, the day the British North America Act created the Dominion of Canada, and is celebrated annually as Canada Day. Originally called Dominion Day, it commemorates the Confederation of the colonies and the nation's birth from Britain. The date became officially known as Canada Day in 1982.

SO technically your right,  until after 1947 when we were British subjects that referred to ourselves as Canadians...So British troops, which included Canadian or local population  were in conflict with our own indigenous population way before we became a nation.... 

If you look again some of these campaigns had CANDAIN militia in them...or made up of Canadian citizens but under British command....Those treaties your talking about where handed over to the Canadian government and still stand today, because they were signed by the crown and we were a colony 

If what you say is true why do we as a nation honor those treaties....As we were a British colony and later a became  dominion of Canada...

Yes, two to three generations of people, many still alive and the concept living memory encompasses people who witnessed and experienced the pain of older generations.

We're not talking about residential schools here, but Europeans taking over Canada. That didn't happen in the last century.

Shared but with less accuracy over time for sure. A good reason to get things right from the start.

In the case of Palestinians grandchildren also bear the deeds to property stolen from their grandparents - they know other people like them too.

Knowledge isn't just passed down but around as well. Often collaboratively and recorded for accuracy that's reliable.

I'm sorry but you just don't have fùcking clue what you're talking about.

the concept of "living memory" is often intergenerational, encompassing the shared narratives, knowledge, and values passed down through families and communities, creating a sense of collective identity and cultural continuity across different ages.

Oh, in that case, my family retains the cultural, intergenerational narratives and values from a thousand years ago. I guess that means we're victims and being oppressed and we need to be compensated by just about everyone in the world

This process is central to constructing collective memory, where individuals receive and contribute to the understanding of a shared past, even while personal or implicit memories are transformed through their reception by younger generations. 

Yeaaah, they need to get over themselves and stop whining.  Lots of peoples have had terrible trauma and they didn't keep asking people to fund their hurt and feel sorry for them for generations afterward. Hell, the Irish fled poverty and starvation, not to mention generations of brutal repression, came to North America, where they were treated like savages, and they recovered pretty fast without ever asking anyone to feel sorry for them.

Yes well, when that happened in BC they were supposed to be following the orders of England which clearly said secure treaties with indigenous people that extinguish title to their lands. They didn't.

I guess it's our own dumb luck we also brought a system of jurisprudence natives have learned to use with great effect to improve their situation.

An evolving living memory of what's right and what's wrong that early migrants spread around the world everywhere they went...almost like a virus really.

And there was still bloody political violence that lasted right up to the point people still alive to this day saw it. There's certainly no guarantee it won't flare up again.

In any case if you're a fan of justifications for grievances rooted in ancient history and fairy tales take Israel.

You mean the land they abandoned at the behest of Arab leaders and were too scared to go back for?

You think a new country is going to leave that land empty for a generation while their enemies ponder whether or not they want to return?
