Yeah, this would get really messy, any way that it's done.
I look at the Osoyoos band and think, well, they're the example that all bands in Canada should strive toward. But then, not every band in Canada lives in winery and golf-course country. They've got both excellent leadership and fantastic resources to build on. I don't think you'd ever get away from the reserve system. Like cowboy89 suggests, the idea of dissolving reserves en-masse and attempting to transfer those assets to individual band-members would likely become a monumental clusterhump.
I think self-sufficiency needs to be planned on a reserve-by-reserve basis: go through and construct a plan with the leaders of each reserve outlining how they're going to become self-sufficient within a set timeframe. There are rewards for hitting milestones, penalties for failing them, and serious penalties for failing them through corruption and mismanagement (most importantly, a loss of autonomy in their decision-making). Dissolution of the reserve would only be an extreme, last-resort penalty for repeated blatant corruption and mismanagement. In some cases, self-sufficiency may not be possible: a northern tribe with few natural resources or assets might never be 100% self-sufficient, but could still maintain their status through good management and continued improvement.
