Senator Arnot: My answer to that is that the Whitecap Dakota First Nation will have control over their membership. They will make the determination themselves and not be constrained by any of the rules under the Indian Act. It is up to them. They will have self-determination in their self-government agreement. That is my interpretation of what this means.

Senator Dupuis: Thank you, Senator Arnot. Could you clarify who owns the reserve lands on which the First Nation plans to set up its self-government?
