The situation in Oz is possibly a good thing. In North America (including Canada) there were some treaty's signed in the 1800's but they, in retrospect, are seemingly vague for interpretation. We in Western Canada have been engaged in various treaty negotitations for well over 20 years, and in many cases still with no resolution in sight. It may take a lot longer, but I think the intent is to try and get it right this time around.
