You seem like a dyed in the wool blue Tory, based on your posts, so here's the question - are you not in favour of honouring contracts?
The treaties were legal contracts between the First Nations and the Crown that spelled out, among other things, compensation for European settlers moving onto the land. Those compensations didn't 'fully' take place, so now they have access to land and/or cash in order to do some economic development.
There is no applicability of "I am for treating all people equally" in this context.
On this subject, it always cracks me up that the same people that bitch and moan about the 'burden' that Indigenous people are on white society and who use the tropes that 'we send them so much money, why can't they get on their own two feet like everyone else' will then turn around and complain about the establishment of Indigenous Economic Zones (Urban Reserves).
I mean, pick a lane, buddy.
