I don't think they are a sovereign nation, but if you have reasons/facts to the opposite I am open to reviewing my position.
PS: I have seen, first hand, the results of one "nation's" response to encroachment of the "sovereignty". It make nothing but a ####ing ####hole of a mess, and I would hope we are above that.

You do see that you're expecting them to define their sovereignty within the very same framework they've been colonized and dominated, right? Regardless of what you or I think, many of these communities do view themselves as sovereigns who've been dicked around for 250 years by French and British colonialists.

“On the morning of October 17, 2013, approximately 200 RCMP – some dressed in military fatigues and armed with snipers – stormed a Mi’kmaq anti-fracking blockade and camp near Rexton, New Brunswick. Journalist Miles Howe, on site, described the situation as “RCMP having their guns drawn.”

So if you consider yourself a sovereign community, and the police from a neighbouring country show up at your border, in military fatigues, and guns drawn, you just let them walk right in and do as they please?
