I'm saying that the path forward is to eliminate barriers between the people living within the borders of Canada. My reasoning for this is that these barriers are no longer beneficial, regardless of why they were setup in the past. Barriers (or their close cousins incentives), based on race are segregationist. Ergo, any argument for the status quo, even if that argument involves treaties, is also segregationist.
Why do you get to decide for indigenous people what does and doesn’t work for them?

Is your position essentially that incentivizing segregation is bad but incentivizing assimilation is ok?
