Land claims and self government negotiations are all about replacing the treaties and the Indian Act.
Blackhorse 7's goals are all well and good but how do you achieve them?
Do you cut them off now, violating all legal obligations and expectations and provoking unrest, probably violent unrest?
Or, recognizing that progress has been made over the past 25 years, continue to build upon that momentum until the gap has been closed and self-sufficiency and self-determination has been realized?
BTW, when that happens full participation by Aboriginal peoples in the economy instead of doling out welfare will re-inject at least 1% of Canada's Gross Domestic Product, the value of Canada's productive output, back into the economy.
