Actually he doesn't. He says "if that's what they want to do, by all means", i.e., he specifically says the Quebecois can go off and do their own thing. He just doesn't feel like the Mohawks owe any allegiance to the Quebecois nation, which I mean, yea, that's 100% true.

He's saying multiple things all at once and contradicting himself.

The way I see it, it's on Quebec sovereignists to make a convincing case to indigenous people and to respect whatever the indigenous people decide to do. That's the whole point of nation-to-nation dialogue. I also happen to think that it is possible for a liberatory post-colonial Quebec sovereignism to exist, but the PQ isn't it.
