Popis:	Canadian natives’ right to self-determination is neither peculiar to their status as aboriginal inhabitants of the country, nor subject to limitation by Canadian legislation. It is required by contemporary international agreements on human rights to which Canada is a party, and is consistent with the evolution of the British empire into a commonwealth of freely-associated states. Recent discussions of natives’ claim to a constitutional place within the framework of a "renewed" Canadian federalism ignore the strongest legal grounds for natives’ demands, and typically overemphasize economic issues such as compensation for past injuries.
