There is an organization called NAACP in the United States that follows this idea, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People. Ultimately thats a model RROMA aims to become in its own regards. I have been at this for awhile and don't want to let what I have help start slip away.
Of course there are many differences in the history between blacks and FNs, between the country politics, and culture of support amongst ethic groups. Point is, it is a different direction.
My position is, working together...the steps to get there, need to be reconsidered than what is happening now (see current threats).

As the race continues, I will continue to comment with my thoughts. There are no clear front runners as marginal candidates continue to enter the campaign. It seems that Atleo has lost the confidence of the chiefs and more importantly those that influence decisions of the leadership. this is perhaps due to the education panel and rumors that his advise comes from a non aboriginal woman whose husband works for AANDC. In otehr words, everything he says lately comes out AANDC
A new candidate has thrown her hat in the race, Dr. Pam Palmater. I am interested to see if part of her platform will include returning the process of deciding identity to the communities.
