It seems no matter what the government offers, Canadian Natives are never happy. What makes every part of the country theirs? Natives were nomadic people, who moved from place to place as necessary for hunting, fishing and weather. Do you think this issue will ever be solved? If so, how?

I hope not. The only way land claims can be resolved is if one gets rid of borders and property value/tax.

Hey Sir, I don't believe in the present flawed Land Claim process for Aboriginal people. Aborginal people are more challenging in today's society than they had been 50 years ago.
Yes Aborginal I agree were nomadic people, they owned all of the continents before the coming of the European contact days. They travelled in areas of hunting, fishing, trapping & gathering.
They went were the animals migrated to, where the could get fresh water and you will notice that most Indian Reserves are by by lakes. They sure as hell weren't in one area years ago.
My Indian Reserve has not settled thier land claim nor Specific Claim where National Defence had some involvement. Hunters were locked out of this one area that National Defence took over,
well the government is getting presently sued after 50 years. This is when my late father was Chief of our first nation. Imagine having your livelihood depend on Trapping for furs and feeding your family by hunting.
That area called Primrose Air Weapons Range in Saskatchewan has hit oil and gas to begin with. I believe the aboriginal people should continue protesting and taking the government to court.
Our Politican in Ottawa is Aboriginal - Gary Merasty more people are turning out at the polls for elections in our area. This is what we need to continue having our own people elected in Parliament.
Isn't is an aboriginal grave yard that started the Oka crisis. Building a golf course over an graves is so despicable. Imagine the aborignal people having a Pow-Wow over graves in which terms thye know better to have more respect than that.
Where white people see $$$ and money to be made is what their society rules by.
I have a mixture of blood, not to say that I have some white blood too. However, the two worlds are very different. Money and greed rules one culture!
