I'm not aware of any verified $16 trillion indigenous trust fund in Canada - that sounds like it may be mixing up several different claims or misinterpreting historical settlement amounts.
The actual indigenous trust funds in Canada are far smaller - typically individual band trusts from land claims settlements. If Alberta were to separate, treaty obligations would need renegotiation as they're federal agreements, but I'd be skeptical of any "trillions" claim without solid sourcing.
Do you have a reference for that $16T figure? I'd be curious to see the actual documentation.
