We need to begin by accepting that in this dependency relationship, nothing will ever be enough. Knowing this and accepting this fact would allow us to move forward.  What we need to do is set a date in the horizon, say 10-20 years from now, when first nations peoples will become Canadians and the Indian Act will be abolished. In the interim, tremendous resources will be allocated to prepare first nations peoples for this day, promoting education and the relocation to more populated centers close to much needed social services and infrastructure.  All aspects of the transition will be clearly detailed, budgeted, and implemented.  Then, at the end, the Indian Act will be formally abolished and all treaties annulled with the support of first nations peoples or not.  No doubt this would prove a difficult time for Canada with much hardship. But in the end, when we are all finally Canadians, one and all, we will be able to shape our nations destiny, together.
