The usual excuse is AFN doesn't want the disenfranchised voting. Reserves are better examples.
Hayden King (Hayden_King): MT @christibelcourt Metis National Council is having elections. No one knows who is running. Metis cannot vote. 55 people will decide. http://twitter.com/Hayden_King/status/464755644768460801 (Sent via Seesmic http://www.hootsuite.com)

Barring Indigebous people, even if they are AFN. The lands and waters resources are for all Indigenous people, not just AFN racial purity colonies

Like most funding the AFN receives, their police forces seem to be mismanaged. A money audit has to be done. The AFN - INM faction also treatied as a party with the NDP and Liberal parties. Liberal or NDP police force?

This is obvious in Toronto with Ontario Ombudsman running municipal employees and the Wynne campaign. Like the AFN INM faction giving away education, having got their money and moving onto each's particular special interest, AFN communities policing funds might also be moved to the provinces. Much treatying and pleasing of AFN claims by Provinces. Social services provided by the provinces to AFN communities might be an indicator as well as provincial AFN health care moving to AFN. Overall, it looks like premiers pleasing the NDP, which claims government funds and jobs including or disabling AFN funding and jobs. None of this is really indigenous culture, but an imposition by all those involved, particularly the AFN, which has disenfranches tens of thousands of Aboriginals.

No one's calculated the distance 8000 years ago, but this is a popular theory. It explains Indigenous genetics and non indigenous migrations. It doesn't, however, explain how we were here 15,000 + years ago based on human artifacts, ancestors, found and tested.
