So what if there were - I would be kinda' surprised if there weren't people
with what we think of as 'Caucasian' features (Caucasians having originated
in central east Asia, and only later migrating to Europe, the Mid East, and
North Africa). Remember also that the 'divergence' between what we today
think of as Caucasians and Asians (and every other non-African grouping -
including Australian aborigines) is quite recent (since they all decent
largely from a single relatively-recent migration out of Africa - or so the
latest theories suppose).

Besides, native treaties in Canada are contracts (the natives gave up most
of their land for guarantees on a small part of it). Racist they may be
there's nothing we can do about them short of re-negotiating them. It's
irrelevant whether the band that signed the treaty were the original
inhabitants of the area (since none of them were - same maybe the Inuit). As
for negotiating new treaties where none exist, I think that's just silly
(when one native group pushed another out of a region did they give the
'losing' group special treaty rights because they felt sorry for them? :)
