I do not know from where you get that information but I can tell you one thing about reservation (I am a native from Canada by the way). I do not see that "reinventing thing" you're talking about. I don't want to elaborate on this because it not the subject of that forum. I can assure you of one thing : my nation is no way ready for sovereingty. Many wounds need to be healed first.

It is happening on a number of reservations and former reservations across the nation. The Cherokee, for instance, have had some incredible leaders, like Wilma Mankiller, who were integral to developing tribal unity and reasserting sovereignty.
The Canadian government has its fair share of broken treaties and bad medicine to account for too.
