Liberal in the past and today have imposed liberal beliefs on nations that all ready embrace other ideologies. When European explores landed on North america, they brought beliefs of individualism, ownership of land and other liberal beliefs while the First Nations believed in collectivism and laws of relationships among all living things. The Europeans believed strongly in the values of liberalism and tried to impose these beliefs on the native american people.
In the 1700's European settlers in Canada started making treaty with the First Nation peoples, They were intended to keep the peace and gain allies. These treaties were used to peacefully gain control over land or increase strength and dominance in North America. A major treaty was the Royal proclamation of 1763 done by the colony of Canada which was the major factor in deciding the basis in law for aboriginal land ownership and other collective rights. Also a note Inuit and Metis were not negotiated in till much later even thought these rules still affected them.
When these treaties were signed a discrepancy in the understanding of what the treaties meant. For example First Nations relationship to the land was spiritual and the treaties were established to share the land while the Government of Canada believed the land was a resource to be used and the treaties were in place to path a way for settlement. Liberalism was impose on a nation that didn't have a knowledge of what they meant on a nations all ready having a working ideology.
