This past week the first ministers and Native leaders finally reached a constitutional agreement.

It doesn't matter that last week the same leaders were espousing negativity and had reached an impasse on several key issues.

I, for one, can't help but feel that we've all been had, just a little.

Time will tell if that same feeling will transpose over to the constitutional agreement, itself.

Deal proof of progress

It's here. After months of consultations, meetings and negotiations, the leader of four national aboriginal organizations and the provincial premiers have arrived at a self-government deal they are willing to take to the country.

This clearly represents giant strides since the days of the failed Meech Lake accord. Native concerns have moved to the top of the national agenda in the three years since Elijah Harper, the soft-spoken member of the Manitoba legislature, told the country Native constitutional aspirations could no longer be ignored.
