Although the rights of native peoples of Canada have yet to be comprehensively defined in Canadian law, most native Canadians assert that their rights include the right not only to govern themselves and their land, but also to exercise ownership rights over movable cultural property—artifacts ranging from domestic implements to ceremonial costumes. ███

Native Canadians' perspective · Natives have right to own movable cultural property

Example: Domestic implements, ceremonial costumes.

Current law · Statute and common law puts ownership of movable property with current owners, not Native Canadians

Recent litigation is questioning this ownership.

Basis of current ownership rules · Private property can be owned by individuals or groups functioning as individuals

Encourages right of individual owners to use property as they see fit.

New perspective in litigation · Collective ownership

Each member of a community has an equal say regarding use of the community's resources.

Problem for new perspective · Legal documents to support property ownership; Native Canadians usually don't have these, but museums do

Solution · Courts will become more aware that collective property exists

This will lead to recognition that Native Canadians should own their movable cultural property.

Purpose of paragraph

Structure

What’s the primary purpose of P1? To introduce us to the lawsuits that the rest of the passage will discuss. The author is setting up the discussion in P2 and P3 by telling us about the native Canadians’ claims.

Although the author does mention some specific kinds of artifacts that native Canadians believe belong to them, the purpose of P1 isn’t to describe these artifacts. The purpose must relate to the rest of the passage; the specific kinds of artifacts are irrelevant to the rest of the passage.

Although the author mentions that the rights of natives haven’t been comprehensively defined, P1 doesn’t discuss attempts to define those rights or difficulties that have come up during those attempts.

provide the context ██████ █████ ██████████ ██ ██████ █████████ ██ ██████ ███████ ██ █████ ███████ ████████ ████████ ██ █████████

This best captures the purpose of P1, which is to introduce us to the native Canadians’ lawsuits. P1 describes the context within which these lawsuits are occurring. Native Canadians don’t have comprehensively defined rights, but they also think they have rights to ownership over their cultural property. Traditional laws have placed ownership of this property with museums. This is the context in which natives are bringing their lawsuits.
