How Have People Reconciled Contending Nationalist Loyalties?
When people coexist in one place there are bound to be conflicts as a result of different beliefs and values between the people. Sometimes these conflicts can be resolved, and sometimes they can't. An example of a resolution of this type of conflict were the treaties made between early Canadian governments and First Nations. However it was an unfair agreement, and now the Canadian government has begun to take steps of reconciliation in order to right the wrongs that past governments inflicted on the First Nations. This includes The Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples, in which a group of aboriginal AND non-aboriginal people discussed and researched conflicts to resolve them. If these conflicts aren't resolved it can effect the nationalist loyalties of the First Nations, so reconciliation is an important thing.
