I strongly agree with this point.
I'm a Green, and I strongly support both conservation and Indigenous sovereignty.
BUT that doesn't mean they're always the same thing AND it means that I, not being Indigenous, don't get to be the one who says whether they align in a specific situation, or not.

If your policy is driven by respect for Indigenous rights, then transfer management of the forest to the Nations involved. But starting with a conclusion - preservation - and then going to the nations and talking afterwards? That sounds like the Greens are expropriating the Nations' rights.
