This video asked the question:How does a First Nation implement their right to self government?
First its important to recognize that all First Nations were independent soverign nations before the whiteman "honoured" us with his presence. We had a whole network set up: a spiritual system, a governing body and natural laws we followed. Every individual played a part. We need to go back to this system and combine it with the present day system and create something that will work for us. What works for one may not work for all. Each Band has different needs, access to different resources, and different perspectives of what self governmnet is. Its important to find what will be the right fit for every band.
