Because these communities existed before the border, which was imposed on them by colonizers.

    Sure, but if you know there's a high likelihood of problems going somewhere, it's a smart idea to avoid it.

    As per the rule with cars: dead right is still dead.

    I've seen statements going out from larger Indigenous social media groups urging caution - wouldn't doubt though that the Mohawk or Blackfoot are going to cross regardless, because their families are across that border or for cultural reasons.

    It's a rock and a hard place problem.
