Aboriginal in Canada

Their tribal elders were very wise in some cases. A lot of the benfits they enjoy are included in their treaty rights (education, property taxes ect). They can not hunt and fish where ever they want, the areas are allocated to them, again based on agreements between them and the government. Fishing and hunting is a large part of their traditional way of life, and tradition is a huge part of native culture. My point is, many benefits are included in their original treaty rights. These things were promised to them in exchange for land that was worth far more than what they got for it. In some cases the agreements were never honored, and that is still up for debate today. Yes, some have also been renegotiated, but The Canadian government has benefitted far more from what natives gave up.

Does your aunt take part in any sort of native culture or community?
