In the 1970s, there was a war in the Middle East, involving Egypt, Syria, and Israel (Egypt and Syria on one side, Israel on the other). Because NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) was closly aligned with Isreal (despite it not being a part of NATO), both Syria and Egypt stopped exporting oil. Oil was becoming more expensive in the Middle East because of the war. So, many Western countries (including Canada) were on their own, digging their own backyards.

Answer 14

The Lubicon Cree lived in Treaty 8 territory, which is N. Sask., N. Alberta, N. BC, and SW NWT. When the treaty was being signed with the Cree, Chipewyan, and Beaver; they were overlooked. So, the Europeans started digging up the land in search for oil, which disrupted the Lubicon Cree's way of life (less animals to hunt, not enough forestry, babies were dying sooner, no food, etc). This started a lot of conflict between the provincial government and the Lubicon Cree. | Six years ago, they signed an agreement with the Lubicon Cree. ## Footnote Treaties are signed by the Queen and the Indigenous. This is because of the Royal Proclamation of 1763; they (Europeans) can't take the land without asking the Indigenous people first. Only with their permission can they mine, trade, travel, lumber, etc. But, when they *do* sign the treaty, that means the Queen (Europeans) can do whatever they want, since they have that permission. *Shows that, because of globalization, what happens across the world can affect us here*
