Usage of the phrase Dominion of Canada was employed as the country's name after 1867, predating the general use of the term dominion as applied to the other autonomous regions of the British Empire after 1907.
The new Dominion of Canada not only meant a centralised approach to Indian Affairs as it had been done under the British, it also opened the way to extending Canada's influence over First Nations people outside of the Dominion through the purchase of Rupert's Land, the Hudson's Bay Company lands, in 1869.
