The logistics of independance, borders, security, infrastructure, self-contained education, debt-sharing etc. would have to be ironed out. If something could be arranged I am confident that people in this area would welcome that. However their would be no going back for either parties.

I did read through your links. Keep in mind that these are non-binding and generic dictums. Look, know matter what we say here it really boils down to the a land claim. I can site and post the original treaty documents (I have them in front of me, i don't even know if you can post jpegs on this forum because I am new here). From what I have read from BOTH sides it appears that Natives feel that either the historic treaties were forged or altered OR that some within your own community sold off lands for their own profit with marginal majority consent of your leaders. If they were indeed forged then you have a legitimate claim, yes that is right I said legitimate! If however, treaties were signed and the greed of a few natives took precident then you have no claim with us and should inwards for justice rather than outwards. Do you agree that it has to be one or the other?

And your response to my post?

Enskat Kenraken Ronkwe As deluded as I believe you are with your opinions I must give you credit for at least conducting an intelligent and civilized conversation; I wish I could say the same for your brethren in Caledonia. If you honestly believe that you are a seperate and independant nation and the Canadian government and people disagree then this clearly seems to be an issue for the World courts to decide. But you will need to be recognized as an independant nation first. Approach the UN and see if you can get this recognition. Until such time this should be viewed by the Canadian people as a hostile takeover of land and a threat to our national security. National security issues need to be addressed by the military not the OPP.
