How about allowing aboriginals to take control of their lives, instead of near-totalitarian manipulation by the government. How about privatizing the reserves and actually giving title to the Indians living there. Allowing them to buy and sell land that they want.

1) Indians?
2) They would be immediatly set upon by developer vultures.
The abuse that the Federal goverment is guilty of on the Aboriginals is more complicated to fix then just cutting them loose. They have massive social illnesses that need to be address before their culture can be able to stand on it's own.
In principal, I agree that they should be given full title to their treated land, but there are siginificant things to tackle before hand.
