Encore des nations!

From the North Bay Nugget:

Bob Goulais of Nipissing First Nation, an executive with the Nipissing-Timiskaming Federal Liberal Association, plans to table a resolution to ensure recognition for First Nations. The question of nationhood was addressed on the weekend at the Quebec assembly of the Liberal Party of Canada, where the delegates passed a resolution recognizing Quebec as a nation. “There is no question Quebec’s nationhood status in Canada should be debated,” said Goulais, an Anishinaabe and chief of staff for the Union of Ontario Indians. “We all know First Nations have long sought recognition as nations within Canada.” Goulais says he will he will table a resolution with the Aboriginal Peoples’ Commission of the Liberal Party of Canada at the party convention, which begins later this month. “I will propose a resolution mandating that First Nations issues become a top priority of the Liberal Party of Canada including the recognition of First Nations as nations within a nation, and the recognition of First Nations governments as a legitimate third order of Government within Canada,” he said in the release.

So that's Quebec, the other provinces, Acadians, about six hundred native bands... Is there anybody here we haven't recognized as a nation?
