As a result, these indigenous peoples are perceived as stateless and “nations within” Canadian state. The term “nation” implies sovereignty of indigenous peoples as community possessing self-determination right to indigenous governance- a right that indigenous peoples never relinquished or given up to any foreign white people to control and alter the matters relating to their lives. However submergence of this nationhood within the larger Canadian nation-state is the reality behind the “nations within”-is a paradigm shift in indigenous –state relations where latter attempts to control and maintain the status of this new social order. Thus, in this article, an attempt is made to understand the undercurrents acting on the indigenous-state relations in terms of governance. Since the decade of 1980s witnessed significant changes in relation to autonomy for indigenous communities nevertheless the fact remains that struggle for indigenous peoples is not yet over because the structure of self- government as proposed by federal government will not help indigenous peoples, for long, to sustain their indigenous cultures and traditions and 2 Journal make them distinct and culturally different ethnic groups among recent immigrants to Canada. Hence this article also attempts to emphasize on the importance of indigenous self-government right as an existing right that will reflect indigenous sense of culture and spirituality. Politics in Defining Sovereignty “We are the original inhabitants of this country now called Canada, and as First Nations peoples we never gave up our sovereignty. We are the First Peoples and we are a Nation with the inherent right to create and maintain our own identities and cultures, languages, values, practices, to govern ourselves and to govern our relationship with other governments as distinct entities.”1 The above lines clearly state the indigenous sovereignty as vital and important in governing indigenous lifestyle and that indigenous right to self- government is derived from indigenous status as original inhabitants of Canada which is important in defining indigenous identity. So sovereignty as an indigenous concept is defined as power to govern indigenous political, social and cultural affairs. It is a distinct right derived from their ancestral Canadian land. It is also based on the indigenous-white settlers relationship on nation- to-nation basis. Such rights according to indigenous peoples, is an inherent right that can never be surrendered or taken away. But today, indigenous concept of sovereignty is understood in the context of the European nation- state. As Dale Turner writes, “Aboriginal sovereignty is viewed solely as a legal political term, its meaning remains safely embedded in Western-European legal and political traditions.” 2 However, in this connection, sovereignty as interpreted by indigenous is based on the settlement of Canadian land and the relationship that developed between the settlers and the indigenous. Hence, it can be said that indigenous sovereignty can be defined on the basis of interpretation of indigenous history which has never been considered as legitimate and without an indigenous interpretation of history, one cannot understand the right to indigenous self-government leading to indigenous identity. Indigenous sovereignty which is based on indigenous belongingness to their land and is rooted in notions of freedom, respect and autonomy- stands in direct contrast to European-Western concept of sovereignty
