Answer 1

8. **c. recommended ending Special status for Aboriginal peoples**The 1969 White Paper aimed to abolish the Indian Act and eliminate the legal category of "Indian," thereby ending their distinct legal status. It proposed integrating Indigenous peoples fully into Canadian society as individuals with the same rights and responsibilities as all other citizens. While it mentioned transferring reserve lands to individual ownership, this was part of the overall goal of assimilation, not recognition of inherent Aboriginal title.9. **d. outright denunciation**Indigenous leaders across the country strongly rejected the White Paper. They saw it as a continuation of assimilationist policies and a denial of their inherent rights, treaties, and distinct identities.10. **b. self-government and self-determination**Indigenous peoples sought recognition of their inherent right to govern themselves and determine their own futures, rather than being assimilated into the broader Canadian society.11. **b. the environment**While other issues remained important, environmental concerns became a significant focus in the 1970s as Indigenous peoples asserted their traditional land rights and opposed resource development projects that threatened their lands and ways of life. The landmark Calder case (1973) regarding Aboriginal title is a prime example.12. **c. Pearson**Lester B. Pearson's government oversaw the process that led to the adoption of the new Canadian flag in 1965.13. **c. to create a distinctly Canadian emblem**The primary motivation for adopting a new flag was to create a national symbol that was uniquely Canadian and distinct from the British Red Ensign, reflecting Canada's evolving national identity.14. **a. family allowances**Family allowances were introduced in 1944 under the Mackenzie King government. The other options were introduced during Lester B. Pearson's time as Prime Minister.15. **d. Canada should be bilingual**The Royal Commission on Bilingualism and Biculturalism, established in 1963, recommended that Canada become officially bilingual to recognize the importance of both English and French in Canadian society.
