Satsan explains section 35 of Canada\u2019s constitution and how it recognizes First Nations\u2019 status as unique nations of their own. He makes an impassioned call for First Nations to fight colonialism in the best way they can\u2014by creating their own laws and mastering the intricacies of the Indian Act, so it can eventually be destroyed.
