   Yes Canada had a better way in dealing with there Native People. Neither   
   country is blameless in the way the local indian population was treated.   
   However Canada did do a better job. They even let Sitting Bull stay   
   there without hounding his followers.   
   As for the religious aspect, the white settlers and early explorers felt   
   there way of worship was all wrong and tried to change it to our way of   
   worship.  Again a wrong step. Why must our way be the only way. I don't   
   mean to sound anti-religious but in my mind how you worship your version   
   of god is up to you.   
   More people died in the name of religion   
   than in war I think.   
   Wounded Knee is a main example of that.   
   The whites were afraid that the Ghost   
   Dance would stir up the Lakota people so they sent the 7Th Calvary to   
   stop it. They already ad a ax to grind with the Sioux nation. The   
   result, slaughter... "Old" Bill
