Wouldn't (Some) Indigenous Cultures Have A Legal Advantage Over The Trans-Pacific Partnership?
and possibly negate its power/validity by legally reverting back to the older treaties which were never enforced? There seems to be some confusion for me as to whether the TPP is an *agreement* or a *treaty*. If its an agreement, then would it be possible to have it changed into a treaty whereby the older treaties have to be recognized and enforced first with regard to all of those Native American treaties previously enacted in this country?
I know, I know - I'm really grasping at straws here. Just seems to me that something can be done about this!
I found this: Indigenous Peoples of Central America Oppose Free Trade Agreement (2 page pdf)

Do you suppose that Indigenous peoples everywhere might have some tiny legal foothold...anywhere?
