Barriere Lake Algonquins have the right to govern themselves http://intercontinentalcry.org/barriere-lake-algonquins-have-the-right-to-govern-themselves/

The Canadian government is getting ready to dispose of the Barriere Lake Algonquin's traditional governance system, using a rarely invoked piece of the Indian Act known as Section 74. As if jumping back to 1876, the Canadian government has invoked Section 74 of the Indian Act,

a draconian measure that grants the minister of Indian Affairs the right to impose an electoral system on any First Nation that has its own leadership selection process.The last time Canada invoked Section 74 was in 1924, when the colony state unilaterally deposed the Haudenosaunee government and placed a padlock on the Confederacy lodge.
