This article supports Thomas Flanagan's claim to indigenous democracy in Canada; it is obvious that indigenous sovereignty can not coexist with Canada's sovereignty through the assessment of the importance of sovereignty. Flanagan outlined the two main interpretations of sovereignty. By analyzing these ideas it is clear that Indigenous sovereignty in Canada can not coexist with Canada's sovereignty. Flanagan interprets sovereignty in the sense of international sovereignty.
After considering these two articles, I decided to support the assertion against domestic sovereignty that coexists with Canada's sovereignty. The position of Olthius and Townshend based on historical and moral reasons seems weak compared to the definition of Flanagan's sovereignty and the debate over sovereignty against indigenous peoples. Flanagan explains the three meanings of sovereignty and provides a discussion on why each is not feasible. The first is a series of authorities such as enacting laws and increasing income. The second is the ownership of the land, the third is the relationship with other sovereign countries. Indigenous peoples are distributed in all 10 provinces, protected areas have more than 2200, 600 bands. These small groups living in remote areas have little to do with job opportunities and economic prospects. Outside these protected areas, thousands of people, Metis and non-status indigenous people live.
