RE:RE:RE:June 16th 2026Sadly, that is not likely to happen. In Canada, anyway, what has become the indigenous tactic is to maintain always at least two competing authorities, so an agreement, say, between the elected band council will subsequently be challenged by hereditary elders or some other group claiming equal or superior status - and since no native voice must ever be ignored no resolution can stand, resulting in further negotiation and further compensation.

I can see this case possibly ending up in the US Supreme court to determine which treaty takes precedence... US-Indians or US-Canada. Probably before that happens though there'll be a big pow-wow with the Indian chiefs and State leaders to negotiate a solution.
