I absolutely agree. As a non first nations person, what can I do to help?

Read the book 21 Things You May Not Know About the Indian Act by Bob Joseph to learn more about the issues indigenous people face.
Thanks. I've picked up a copy and will read it this week.
Shit or get off the pot.
If the Tribes want full autonomy they should get it without question; If they want to be seen as a part of Canada as a self Governing province they should get it without question; If they want to assimilate their territory into Canada they should be able to do it without question.
But it needs to be done yesterday.
Enough of this bullshit debate and give these people the right to choose for real so we can be done with this.
They want to be a nation and self govern fine but no more money you want self autonomy then be self sufficient.
Same goes for you when you need something and your bootstraps are down bud.
Damn right. Who the fuck are we to tell them what to do with their land and their nation? That's entirely up to them.
And heck, I'm Québécois and I know that Québec is a distinct nation and it should have a right to self determination. It would be hypocritical to deny the same right to the first nations of this country, who were there first, whose lands were stolen, and have suffered so much injustice. So let them choose and be done with it.
