taxation without representation; > race-based government; > regulation of trade by race; and > entrenched inequality for aboriginal women?
The Treaty does not do any of these things — the allegations are simply incorrect: Nisga’a Lisims Government may make laws in respect of direct taxation of Nisga’a citizens on Nisga’a Lands. reference: Taxation Chapter – paragraph 1 Nisga’a Government is not based on race. Nisga’a Government: > is based on the inherent right of self-government of aboriginal people; > is “rights-based” not “race-based”; > is able to make laws that are integral to Nisga’a culture and language, and the use, management and disposition of Nisga’a lands and assets; > is subject to the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, bearing in mind the free and democratic nature of Nisga’a Government as set out in the Final Agreement. references: Section 35 of the Constitution Act, 1982; Inherent Right policy of Government of Canada; General Provisions Chapter; paragraph 9 Nisga’a Government does not “regulate trade by race.” There is no basis whatsoever for this assertion. The closest provision is paragraph 47(b)
