I would like to see settler-colonial governments abolished, settler wealth redistributed, and for settlers to betray whiteness/colonialism and join indigenous resistance to ultimately live side-by-side with indigenous people as equals.

Black people are not settlers. It's not like their ancestors came here to invade and colonize the land and it's not like they have generational wealth from settler-colonialism.

Thanks for answering but this isn't very clear.I understand you don't want co-governance, you want Indigenous Sovereignty - but you also want to get to put limits on that sovereignty.

to ultimately live side-by-side with indigenous people as equals.

You seem to want to make Indigenous people give whites and other groups use of the land, water, and other resources.

But under that plan, Indigenous people would also have to be responsible for hosting them and all the labour of governance. They wouldn't get to evict them.

I wonder what your reaction is to any Indigenous people who would be against limitations to their sovereignty.

My views are shaped heavily by Fanon and the indigenous Algerian struggle against French colonialism.

During the fight for independence from France there were whites that betrayed France to aid the Algerian struggle: hiding Algerian resistance fighters or smuggling guns through check points or staying silent during questioning etc. etc. When white French descendants betrayed France to aid the indigenous resistance, they became Algerian.

When the US and Canada are abolished, it will require whites and other groups to betray whiteness and aid the indigenous struggle. When they do, there won't be a need to "make" indigenous people give whites and other groups use of the land, because many whites and and other groups will earn their place on the land by aiding the struggle. I'm sure there are individuals who truly do want to kill or expel all white people, but they don't really represent a significant bloc and aren't worth discussing seriously.

(It must be said, after Algerian independence the white French descendants mostly fled back to France because most of them didn't want to betray France to aid Algerian patriots. The same will likely happen in the US and Canada, the whites that refuse to aid in the struggle will flee to whatever European countries will take them because they will not want to live here anymore.)
