With regards to the press reports, it's all just hype.
I have known a few Aborigonal People, most of what I know of them, is that for the most part are honest people.
Experience has shown that if you don't want groups like the Mohawk Warrior Society to flourish, you arrest the leaders and outlaw the organization. Most of the Warriors in Oka, infiltrated from the United States, because they have "Treaty" rights to cross the border at will.
If you're going to have internal trouble, the first thing you should be doing is closing the bloody land border crossings. The second thing you should be doing is arresting every Aborigonal who's committed a violent offence. The Third thing that should be done is siezing every weapon, that an Aborigonal, or anyone else for that manner, has no business owning. Common sense tells me that an Indian wouldn't hunt with a .357 Magnum Revolver, .50 Snipers Rifle, or an M 16.
Finally they Govt. should get off it's arse and deal with Caledonia and other hotspots, with intensive negotiation, which will benifit both sides.
