All I wanted to do with my last post was provide insight, if someone has a plausible solution, it is more than welcome.

I am curious on your position as an aboriginal (or at least part anyway). You seem to think poorly of the Indian Act, but don't you think if Aboriginals are going to have the choice of having a separate society of some kind they have to have this written in legislation.
Yes the Indian Act has a ton of problems, but isn't it an extremely difficult issue? Maybe modifying the Indian Act is better than throwing it away?
You seem to be anti- forced integration yet not like the idea of two peoples. Doesn't a lack of integration create by definition two peoples?
