Except for the legal treaties Canada signed with them? This isn't Canada being like gee I guess it'd be woke of us to say you're a separate legal entity. This is based on treaties they've signed and being legally obligated to recognize the rights of a people

Legal treaties, or any kind of contract really, are only worth their paper as long as there is an underlying system with power to enforce them. I believe these nations have no standing in international courts; they have no armies, allies or resources. Upholding these treaties is entirely dependent on goodwill.

If Canada was to ignore them and take over all land, who would stop them? It is, in the end, Canada being nice. Is that such a terrible thing?
