No, MB-Mbr and Canuck have actually spelled it out correctly and from how I read their posts, rather clearly. They have a excellent understanding of treaty rights, and to an extent, constitutional law.
Treaties are an agreement and are very similar to a contract, but a contract of the highest order; it requires two parties to agree on certain things, it is negotiated and certaintly not imposed (a brief review of the peace & friendship treaties out east to those found in the west (i.e. treaties 1 through 8) will revel the progression of concession given by both parties). To think otherwise is to be wilfully blind to Canadian history ( and I am not talking about the sorry excuse of Canadian history taught in our schools)
When you argue for the restriction of Native hunting please understand that will unavoidably lead to the end of non-native hunting. As others have stated don't ask for what you want unless you know what you will get.
Carry on....
