Possibly. But most people with status already live off-reserve and the off-reserve population is growing 4x faster.

I know a few people with status who live typical lives in metro Vancouver and seem to have no desire to move to a rural area to connect with the land or whatever the stereotype is. Obviously there's selection bias here, but they seem to be following the usual trend of urbanization, and in doing so they are picking more cosmopolitan cities over a more distinct lifestyle and stronger cultural connection.
