Our Peoples signed Treaties to share the land and wealth with the newcomers as equals. In order to regain our sovereignty and rights as Nations, First Nations must break free of the Indian Act and the current welfare state mentality. Every one of our First Nation Children is born with something that mainstream Children do not, or will ever have – the “Seed of Sovereignty.” This must be nurtured, protected, and extended to every unborn generation. We must exercise our Treaty rights, we must occupy our ancestral lands, and we must use our Indigenous customs, practices, languages – and our Laws. This is the only way to protect our Sovereignty and advance our Nations for the Next Generation.
