Shit or get off the pot.
If the Tribes want full autonomy they should get it without question; If they want to be seen as a part of Canada as a self Governing province they should get it without question; If they want to assimilate their territory into Canada they should be able to do it without question.
But it needs to be done yesterday.
Enough of this bullshit debate and give these people the right to choose for real so we can be done with this.

Yeah what's happening there is absolutely insane and is just the tip of the iceberg because it gets a bit of news coverage during fishing season

Umm catching fish to eat with your tribe family whatever is different then commercial fishing and selling over seas. I thought everyone thinks they are the nobel Savage yet they are fishing during the animals breeding season commercially.
Take a guess what the outcome is going to be.

Well said, and thank you for adding this information to the conversation. It is rightly fucked what is, and has always, been going on and more people need to be aware of this nonsense.

Damn right. Who the fuck are we to tell them what to do with their land and their nation? That's entirely up to them.
And heck, I'm Québécois and I know that Québec is a distinct nation and it should have a right to self determination. It would be hypocritical to deny the same right to the first nations of this country, who were there first, whose lands were stolen, and have suffered so much injustice. So let them choose and be done with it.

I absolutely agree. As a non first nations person, what can I do to help?
Read the book 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act by Bob Joseph to learn more about the issues indigenous people face.
Thanks. I've picked up a copy and will read it this week.
