The fact that self - government is acknowledged to be an inherent right, and the fact that it can fall within the scope of the comprehensive settlements process and
receive Constitutional protection means that self - government, while falling short of sovereignty, is an entrenched right in Canada, and evidences a significant application of the right of self - determination to the Indigenous peoples of Canada.
While that right is not absolute and some words «by their very utterance» cause injury or incite an immediate breach of peace, and do not
receive constitutional protection, (there is the old adage you do not have the right to shout fire in a crowded movie theater).
The Canadian equivalent of Australia's «native title» recognises Indigenous rights to resources in land, a right to the land itself (not just to carry out activities on the land), and
receives constitutional protection (prohibiting Aboriginal rights from being extinguished without consent).
