Basically what you said is correct, and you're quite astute to mention it. There is an extremely complex issue on the native side in terms of organization such that they can be proportionally and correctly represented. While most Aboriginal people in Canada "generally mostly believe around generally the same stuff" - it's as you can imagine hugely nuanced, never mind that Inuit are their own people to address in and of themselves. I could write about this extensively but I'll leave it at this: while it's true that the interfaces and work require to jive all of that together has an onus on the native people themselves, Canada has not done a particularly good job of sitting down with the chiefs across the board and facilitating a re-examination what that would look like in a modern context if a venue was presented and agreed upon. Personally, I could imagine something more like the UN?) I don't want to downplay the complexity of this side of the issue, I do think real change would require the constitution.
