More about the "natives"

I don't think anyone does any research about what is a nation.  I do and it's clear that the "natives" are not a nation.  And by the way, I object to their calling themselves "natives", as you know, because no humans are indigenous to North or South America.  We all arrived here from either the Garden of Eden, or Africa and subsequently from European countries. 

But I digress.  For purposes of this blog, I will refer to them as "natives", although you know I don't agree with that definition.  Anyway...........

"A sovereign state is a nonphysical juridical (they mean "jurisdictional) entity of the international legal system that is represented by one centralized government that has supreme independent authority over a geographic(al) area.  International law defines sovereign states as having a permanent population, one government and the capacity to enter into relations with other sovereign states.  It is also normally understood to be a state which is neither dependent on, nor subject to, any other power or state."

By that Wikipedian definition, Canadian natives are not sovereign because they are completely dependent upon Canada for funding.  And they do not enter into relations with other states or nations -- except when they paddle to the UN to complain.  They are not independent, nor do they have their own army and they do not generate their own currency.  The rest of us supply that. 

How Canadian natives can call themselves a "nation" is ridiculous.  I wish Canadians would wake up and smell the scam and I wish the natives would be either independent, or join the rest of Canada and be "Canadian". 

Period, the end.
