There's a movement afoot in Canada for natives to be able to own their home and lot on reservations. Native leaders (who are the people in control of all finances on the reservations) are dead against it because they feel that no-one has the right to "own" land because it belongs to nature. I'm wondering why natives are laying claim to land outside the reservations and have suggested that homeowners already living on that land should pay a yearly fee to the natives?
If we follow the native philosophy that land shouldn't be owned by an individual, then they can't possibly believe that non-native Canadians owe them a penny...can they??
