However the bolded part is the only part of your statement that I disagree with. Its time to cut the apron strings... whether they desire it or not.
This is how I see it going forward. Parliament passes a motion to repeal the Indian Act, they go to the leaders of representative tribal councils, and leave it to them to draft how this is going to happen. It would be very difficult to get an agreement everyone can be satisfied with, but that's democracy. The tribal councils present the plan, parliament then approves the plan that was drafted and passed by the first nations people of Canada.
