Explanation: For those of you who are not aware of European colonial history in the Americas, the First Nations ‘agreed’ to move only at gunpoint - when, of course, they were not shot outright and agreements eschewed completely. The phrasing here makes it sound much less like ethnic cleansing, when, you know, it was ethnic cleansing.

A bit more:

If we're talking about US history, this page would be in reference to Europeans arriving in the 1600s. By that time, the population of North America had been dramatically reduced by foreign disease. For the comparatively small number of foreigners showing up, there kind of already was "room" because of that.

Later on, when the US government was actively relocating people, different groups of people responded in different ways. Some decided it would be best to cooperate. Some decided it would be best to stand their ground and fight. None did these things because they freely "agreed" to.

Based on the map and the use of “First Nations,” this is a Canadian textbook. I have no doubt this happens (and worse) in American textbooks, though.

“Quebec City” is a big clue, too.

Yep:
