Wow, we have few aboriginal law guys in our office and I've never heard of this.

Good find... but......

There is no way this has ever been done.

Also, just because its been enacted, doesn't make it 'legal', in that, as soon as anyone tried the law would be subject to a constitutional challenge.

Could you imagine what would happen if this was attempted? Oka would look like a picnic in comparison.
