Abolishment of the reserve system would result in cultural genocide. It's the natural progression for a dominant culture to assimilate a smaller one.
In South Africa, you have a situation where the numbers are reversed and white people only make up about 10% of the population. Even then, they are largely being pushed out.
By saying getting rid of reserves would fix aboriginal issues, you're essentially saying that getting rid of aboriginals would fix aboriginal issues. Although technically correct, it's not the way forward.
