Perhaps you can better explain this position to me. It seems like your argument comes down to:
"The only reason it came to light and the court had to rule on their constitutional rights being violated is because of those special-interest funded groups."
That obviously can't be your position, that your more concerned how it became known their constitutional rights were violated as opposed to being concerned that they were violated, but I'm not sure how else to read it.
Again, the First Nations were not "on trial" they didn't do anything wrong. Canada erred in meeting their legal requirements. It was a mistake that needs to be rectified.
