Obviously lots of huge questions would needed to be answered as part of a aboriginal self government plan. However the bottom line is that the current system isn't working. Racism or not - you can't deny that aboriginal populations have much higher incidences of suicide, serious disease, alcoholism (and other addictions), and so on. The system needs to change.
