The first is of Indigenous Arctic fur traders. The second represents Indigenous Arctic reindeer herders. The third is of an Indigenous Arctic girl. The fourth represents a man putting a ring on a woman, above an open diamond ring in a box, and below both is an Indigenous Arctic fisherman. The fifth shows an Indigenous Arctic girl's face in the center of a large diamond.

So now that MNO is being called out (not new), its time for FN chiefs to step up and reclaim those who lost status and had no where else to go, and their descendants. Obvi not the case for everyone, but chiefs have a roll to play in sorting out this future.
On Monday, the eve of National Indigenous People's Day, federal MPs will vote to support the "Metis Government Recognition and Self-Government Agreement" in the province of Ontario. But they shouldn't, a group of First Nation scholars argue:

We're not supposed to be living in a system where some are above the law & some have no enforceable legal rights.
Canada, the UN & Intl. Court all willfully facilitate literal crimes against humanity & genocide crimes if perpetrators are affluent enough & victims are indigenous.
