Abstract: The Canadian state has never tolerated autonomy for indigenous people whether it was in terms of participation within the legal system, other spheres of social control, or political action. Stark illustrations of this are offered in the Canadian government's unwillingness to accommodate the Métis nation under Louis Riel in the nineteenth century or to grant any significant measure of sovereignty to Indian people in the second half of the twentieth.
