Interestingly enough with the Metis, they are not defined as Indians under the NRTA and they could very well argue they have a commercial right to the natural resources.
In conclusion, it you think being out on the land is strictly a killing thing, then I have no words that would explain the lifestyle.
As usual, I stand to be corrected...

No where did I say that subsistence was in a treaty, and by no means do I think being out on the land is a killing thing, I was just talking as to what the original poster was referring to subsistence hunting, any response to my comments on farming, forestry and oil activity?
