Canada is a giant Rez. You don't have property rights.

 

Again, it’s dillusional statements like this that make it impossible to have progress. 

I’d be more worried about it but the reality is you are just here to troll. Carry on!

Thanks. For me...a link showing I have rights under the law to property

For you...an initiative. You do know what that word means right? An idea....a thought....in other words not real at this moment. 

I do like the idea of First Nations Property Ownership but unfortunately your friends down at the AFN reject it.

You are sadly mistaken. 

PRIVATE PROPERTY AND THE CHARTER

The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not directly protect property rights. The Charter was enacted as part of the Constitution Act, 1982, which affirmed the Constitution as the supreme law of Canada and provided that any law that is inconsistent with the Constitution is of no force or effect. The Charter guarantees certain individual rights against intrusion by the state and gives the courts the power to provide a remedy to anyone whose Charter rights are denied. For example, section 7 of the Charterreads:

Everyone has the right to life, liberty and security of the person and the right not to be deprived thereof except in accordance with the principles of fundamental justice.

If property rights had been included in the Charter, certain laws restricting or removing property rights would be unconstitutional, and the courts would have been able to strike them down. But property rights were deliberately excluded from the Charter(the reasons for this omission are subject to some debate that cannot be summarized adequately in this guide), and subsequent proposals to amend the Charter by adding protection for private property have not been successful.

The Charter does affect property rights in other ways: section 8 protects individuals from unreasonable search and seizure of their property; section 15 guarantees equality before the law and can be used, for example, to challenge land use regulations that discriminate based on religion, mental disability, or other protected categories; and section 26 affirms the existence of pre-Chartercommon law and other rights that existed in Canada. In addition, section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982protects Aboriginal rights, including land rights, against state interference.

No...no I’m not. I said I have rights under law. No where did I say I have absolute right over the property. Like most people I realize that I am a part of society and there are reasonable expectations and limitations to what I can do on and with my property however that does not mean I have zero property rights. From your link:

Charter Rights 

Although the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms does not expressly protect property rights, such rights are created and are therefore protected by both common law and by statute law —

As a Canadian citizen, you have those same rights just not on the ‘Rez’ since the Crown owns that land. The only place in Canada thus far that has allowed individual property rights on reserves is in B.C. where those rights were negotiated in their recent treaty. Sadly, Treaty 4 offers you no such luck
