I would argue that they have less property rights than the average Canadian. They basically have squatters rights, they can exist on the surface but own no part of the mineral rights and cannot sell their surface rights. They are like long term lease tenants with zero rent. No individuals own anything, they just have squatters rights for an undetermined period of time.
Give them full surface rights and let the natives decide what to do with the land.
