	FGN >> Canadian legal system flawed for Aboriginals: UBC professor
		“Many Aboriginals find the court system an adversarial environment that they can’t operate in because they are divorced from its traditions...for them it’s about hearing their people tell their story...and it’s hard to hear your elders cross-examined and to hear the criticism,” he said.
		Both Ray and Raibmon agree that the court system is not a level playing field, and that Aboriginals are equipped with far less resources.
		And that resistance, not the benevolence of a Canadian state that exists only in nationalistic MYTHOLOGY, is why there are the treaties, to which you refer as "an artifact of obsolete governance and corporations".
