I mean, on one hand, we’re just living on indigenous lands. The commonwealth may just pose the same assertion. A hereditary chief represents me much less than the monarchy, as a white, British descendant. I haven’t been able to come to terms with this personally, but its an interesting consideration who has the right to rule and govern peoples of a land.
Eg. hereditary chiefs of Wet’suwet’en, So when the elected councils and hereditary chiefs are in opposition to each other who’s authority would you support?

I have issues with institution that support birth rights. I am gun shy on First Nation issues however because I used to have much more .... different views... and been since educated on many issues on how I was wrong.
So now, unless I do a good amount of reading, I don't think its appropriate for me to weigh in, since I have been surprised in the past on items I took as factual and unchanging views, which indeed I realized I was wrong.
The idea of birthright in authority disgusts me, which is an item I currently think is factual and unchanging view of mine... but I as I said I thought that before.
