Not sure how you can compare the two.
Canada has always been tolerant of the traditions of its people. As long as you follow the law and pay your taxes, nobody cares when you celebrate Christmas, or if you even do.
What 'traditions' that the Natives have would be 'lost' if the reserve system were abolished and the Native people were assimilated into the rest of Canada?
