Abstract
This article analyses the activities of the Canadian native lobby of Westminster which opposed patriation of the British North America Act. It explores the positive and negative roles played both by specific native associations and by British parliamentarians and jurists. While acknowledging the failure of the lobby’s ultimate objective, the paper suggests that the events surrounding patriation have emphatically launched Canadian native politics onto the world stage, helping also to clarify and refine native concepts of self-government and sovereignty in an international context.
