We are not getting a fair share of that. Game wardens charge our people for hunting and fishing on our own land. This is a denial of our means of sustaining our livelihood. We all know of the situation in Burnt Church in New Brunswick. The people of Burnt Church are simply seeking a fair share in the resources of the fisheries.
Treaties are agreements between two parties.
First Nations let the white settlers live on the land for certain conditions which are contained in the treaties. First Nations agreed to certain conditions, not to give up our sovereignty. The provincial and federal governments don't recognize their own treaties they signed with us. They think they can change the terms on them whenever they want. Treaties cannot be changed unilaterally, meaning one side cannot change them without the consent of the other side.
