Especially a 'Regional Chief,' which just serves to acknowledge and enforce Provincial claims to Aboriginals who happen to live or are assigned to Ontario with no rights to be Aboriginal outside the Provinces. AFN just enforces the inability to travel and joun other Aboriginals outside the assigned Province. Aboriginals have equal rights to resources regardless of AFN land and Aboriginal claims. Threatening Aboriginals with violence is typical of recent migrations and enforcement of colonial cultish laws like AFN racial purity.
Not a good example for the youth, but this is AFN consistent behaviour.

Outside their 'communities' and land grants. Usually, about 50% of AFN Aboriginals are disenfranchised by AFN. Not a consideration.....

What happened to the Aboriginals AFN claimed, then banished at many levels? Excuses, like the status card and formalizing vile work already done does not free AFN of what it has done to many Aboriginals. This is not Indigenous, but probably a practice, like copper 'currency' that came with this recent migration.
Difficult to shame the murdered.

Excusing AFN racial purity laws. Banning Aboriginals. AFN always looking elsewhere for identity and excuses for 30 years of AFN racial purity, a foreign government and way of life.
Indigenous people have always embraced others and learned.
This is not the AFN way.

Most Aboriginals are disemfranchised by and from the AFN. There work is done. Any organization that does not put disenfranchised Aboriginals will fail. It's a matter of how much gain can be acheived by anvd for the few. The AFN has become the biggest banner of Aboriginals from their resources - lands and waters. Colonies followed the same pattern - grants from the crowns.

This seems like a good way around AFN racial purity laws. Lots of AFN claims are on lands. Retroactive too. Hereditary claims....chiefs...councils.
Globally, midwifery is a trend.

This is a common tactic by the AFN and the crowns. Historically, it is common. In this case the 'hereditary chief (this actualy doesn't exist amongst Indigenous persons) is a soveriegn, not actually owning the lands and waters grants from the crowns. Maybe a noble? A title might be '....the priviledged...' currently in vogue with municipalities as modern, although its roots are very questionable and term undesireable as voluntarily usary.
In a few years come back and read us......

This also denies land and waters usage to Indigenous persons. The Crowns know this went they grant titles and treaties to the AFN.
In a few years when the gorging is done this must be reconciled - leaving only cash payments directly to Aboriginls the only option. Reconciling must include an audit back to AFN inception.

Let them work with the Aboriginal majority not tied to AFN 'communities.'

This is a more detailed article than the others. For the AFN it's a federal presence in AFN and Provincial greed. The article mentions some 55% of AFN claimed Aboriginals live off reserve. Maybe we should study why they left and what happened to them.
Land grants are supposedly judged by use of resources and AFN racial purity. The original argument was the federal government uses resources and Aboriginals benefit in services like healthcare. So, if we follow this argument, Indigenous people have used and benefit from resources from fish to oil. The AFN intervenes in direct benefits for each Aboriginal through AFN racial purity laws, disenfranchisement campaigns and barring non AFN Aboriginals from resource use - even AFN members that don't have an assignment to a particular AFN reserve. AFN also subscribes to Provincial borders that make an Aborinal non Aboriginal by going over Provincial borders.
Indigenous people have always been in Canada and using its resources regardless of European and, now, AFN colonies. The crowns have always granted titles to the colonies. What Indigenous people need is a direct cash federal benefit to each Aboriginal, but AFN and Provincial greed, helped along by other political parties, like the NDP, will always insist on their cut first by providing 'services' and 'programs' and intercepting cash. So, we wait - disenfranchised and barred living in poverty while the latest colonies gorge themselves 'representing' us.
