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.

1) Indians and aboriginals are both politically charged terms. Neither is more correct than the other. It's actually more respectful to refer to each band by their own name.
2) I never said the solution was going to be easy. It's a mess. Doesn't help that certain stakeholders have radicalized the movement for their personal gain.
Somebody does need the balls to do something. Any significant policy change must start with the political will. Who right now in Canada has that political will? Nobody.
