The treaties with the crown require the crown consult with them before adjusting them. This means that Albertan secession can't happen without their consent, as it would by definition, completely and unilaterally adjust the terms of those treaties.

The treaties were made in perpetuity, and if you are going to not hold up the crown's end of the promises, the FN's side - giving the crown and Alberta governance over the land - needs to be reverted as well.

Contracts require both sides to adhere to them.

> 95% of Alberta is unceded First Nations land

That is wrong. You were probably thinking of British Columbia, where no such grand Treaties were ever enacted.

hang on, your previous claim was that its unceded land, with no treaty contract at all - which is it?

do you actually know what the terms are, and who has what responsibility to them?
