Listening to a #CBCIdeas episode about #FirstNations matters, the main interlocutor discusses the issue of #sovereignty ; but what he means by "sovereignty" is very different from how I understand it.

To me, it's a question of being a #Westphalian state, capable of signing treaties, declaring war, the ultimate source of law for its subjects; to him, it's about indigenous people having control over indigenous affairs, like the #Sami having their own legislature.
