Ditching the monarchy would be an important step in making that possible.
Unfortunately, most of the treaties were nation to nation negotiated with the Crown. Reopening treaty negotiations would be fraught with pitfalls.
Legally I think that's a pretty simple issue. If the treaty was negotiated between the Crown and the natives, then if Canada no longer represents the crown Canada is no longer liable for those treaties. Native leaders would have to negotiate directly with the UK monarchy instead, and many of those treaties would simply be voided since the Crown would no longer have ownership of the land.
Practically, it would fuck over a lot of people and also be a really bad move politically.

Oh, wait.
I, for one, welcome our new mammoth-hunting overlords.
