Joe's art could be used as security for a credit transaction even if the art is not physically located on his reserve. Although Joe was born and raised on a reserve, he has chosen to leave and pursue his career elsewhere, which likely indicates that he has reached the age of majority and has the capacity to contract. The other options are incorrect, as there is no evidence to suggest that Joe is unable to sell his art anywhere other than the reserve, that the profits will be held by the Crown, or that he has a limited capacity to contract. Moreover, it is presumptuous and discriminatory to assume that an Aboriginal person lacks the capacity to contract without any evidence to support such a claim.
