Native liberty, crown sovereignty : the existing Aboriginal right of self-government in Canada / Bruce Clark.
"The cornerstone of Clark's argument is the 1763 Royal Proclamation which forbade non-Natives under British authority to molest or disturb any tribe or tribal territory in British North America. Clark contends that this proclamation had legislative force and that, since imperial law on this matter has never been repealed, the right to self-government continues to exist for Canadian Natives." -- publisher's description
