Iliabeth,

Capitalism holds land as individual property rights. Natives have a tribal or community definition of territory. Which model now applies?

In practice as seen in Nuvavit and the Restofit, aboriginals apply both models, depending on the circumstances. Property rights and the rule of law no longer exist under native rule. Every development permitting stage has become a negotiation that in reality has been practiced as simple, in your face, outright extortion, to the benefit of a culturally and racially elite group. It is no surprise that natives vote Liberal in the Federal elections as they are of a like mind when it comes to elitism. IMO, such systems favor oligarchy based upon synergies between large government and a few large corporations as opposed to democracy and an open, free and competative market place.
