When I lived there it was just Whites, Chinese and Japs.
Now the Aussie came and it all went to hell with them scamming welfare and living 20 to a house.

Don't you mean 20 to a dormitory room? I know cause I've seen it in Whistler. Although, I prefer these Australians over the Ontarians who come to Victoria.

I agree with you Cliffy, however the some of the most strident supporters of keeping the Dept of Indian Affairs are the very chiefs who should be standing up for their people instead of lining their pockets with government largesse.
Dept of Indian Affairs is horrible horrible joke on the people they set out to **** over. Try playing middle man for a rez who wants to develope it's own resources and try getting DIA to do their share and develope the skill set needed for the men of the north who want to work but can't without some basic inexpensive skills training.
I do not disagree with you, petros. I believe that the DIA is an impedement to the development of reserves by the very people who live there and that it serves only to maintain the status quo on same.
There are many examples of reserves who chose to go 'their own way' and through hard work and perseverance have managed to develop viable businesses which create local employment and an incentive for others to develop ideas of their own. The DIA had little if anything to do with the successes and often can be held to blame for many of the failures. Natives face the same red tape when trying to get businesses up and running as any Canadian but the DIA adds an entirely different level of hurdles for them to overcome.
The DIA is an outmoded idea which has proven time and again to hinder rather than better Native people.
Have you ever been north of 55 degrees? There are no options like golf courses, RV resorts, restaurants or casinos. It's all resources. Trees or minerals take your pick.
Truer words could not be uttered!!!
Where have you been hiding this insight Mowich!!!
Which were stolen out from under, or right off of reserves.
Reparations and royalties would go a long way in remedying some issues.
It's more than just what has been stolen it is what is about to be stolen that really needs to be addressed. Jobs are great indeed but some jobs are very high risk for injury and long term suffering from avoidable cancers and pulmonary diseases that go along with extraction and processing or minerals. When you hear a politician say "Oh well it's just 10-15 dead Indians a year" you lose a lot of faith and belief in what you are try to accomplish.
Gawd no, no one wants to here someone that sounds like Clint Eastwood singing amazing grace.
Have you seen "Paint your Wagon" with Lee Marvin and Clint Eastwood as "pardner"? It's a musical and both Marvin and Eastwood sang in it. Eastwood was easier on the ears.
Didn't he sing in Every Which Way But Loose?
Yeah...that one too. I think he sang on Big Valley too.
Note without putting my balls in a vice.
If I actually entertain the idea, I'll ask the wife if I can borrow them.
Actually, I'm in her good books right now. I didn't go ice fishing without her today.
And we have a hotel room booked for next weekend up on Lake Joseph. I've been hammering huge Lakers there for the last couple weekends. I think I found a sweet hunny hole that just keeps on spitting out quality fish.
