Do the (actual) natives agree to that immigration, or just the older immigrants?? Ilmarinen To make a long story short, the answer is "Yes". Actually, the answer to this question varies widely, depending on when and were the question is posed. In most places, Europeans and Asians were welcomed - sometimes reluctantly and sometimes warmly. The settlement of Canada was accomplished with very little hostility, partly because early Canadians depended on native allies and partly because the sovereignty of Canadian natives was officially recognized in the late 1700's. Almost all native peoples are party to one treaty or another that specifies what their expectations were in return for allowing the outsiders to settle. The exceptions are mostly along the west coast of B.C., where the land was taken without treaty. The cases where interactions were hostile, such as the extermination of the native inhabitants of Newfoundland, are generally viewed with regret by Canadians. Of course, a couple thousand years from now, the European arrival will be viewed as just another wave of migration, along with previous waves that displaced or altered earlier populations. -g
