It probably wouldn't have been upheld but Native affairs has huge sticks to beat each band with, the treaties are just part of the money and benefits paid.
You want us to pay your legal fees or for an access road or a water treatment plant etc etc.
If the Goverment wants to it can force transparency, what you have to remember though is through most of Canada's history we have encouraged corrupt band leadership who will happily sign over mineral rights or sell off half the bands land no questions asked for a huge backhander.
This is a system 'we' developed to create an amenable native leadership who will keep their people quiet while 'we' rob them blind.
