Aboriginal self-government in Canada : ウィキペディア英語版 | Aboriginal self-government in Canada
Aboriginal self-government refers to proposals to give governments representing the Aboriginal peoples of Canada greater powers of government. These proposals range from giving Aboriginal governments powers similar to that of local governments in Canada to demands that Aboriginal governments be recognized as sovereign, and capable of "nation-to-nation" negotiations as legal equals to the Crown (i.e. the Canadian state), as well as many other variations. == Background == Aboriginal peoples in Canada are defined in the ''Constitution Act, 1982'' as Indians, Inuit and Metis. Prior to the acquisition of the land by European empires or the Canadian state after 1867, First Nations (Indian), Inuit, and Metis peoples had a wide variety of polities, from band societies, to tribal chiefdoms, multinational confederacies, to representative democracies (in the case of the Metis-led Legislative Assembly of Assiniboia). These were ignored or legally suppressed by the Canadian federal government.〔Wherrett, Section A〕 For the Metis and Inuit, nothing was put specifically in as a replacement beyond that fact that these people could vote for the standard municipal, provincial, and federal elections as citizens of Canada. For the First Nations, the government created the band system under the ''Indian Act'', which allowed First Nations people to vote in band elections but they could not vote in federal elections before 1960 unless they renounced their status as Registered Indians. Band governments had very little authority, however; they exercised only whatever power was delegated to them by the Minister of Indian Affairs, and only had authority on the Indian reserves which represented a tiny proportion of their traditional territories.〔Wherrett, Section B〕
