You think wrong in a very broad and stereotypical way.
This statement only proves you know so very little about the whole of Native governance.
So in other words, you want to reap the benefits of those treaties, without living up to your part of the contract?
Go try that with your mortgage company.
Again, a statement that shows you really know so very little.
Rama is a wealthy reserve, poverty is nonexistent and the place looks great.
Another blanket statement that simply shows how little you know.
The government. You are capable of applying for funding for college, retraining and all sorts of things. You simply have to apply and show why you are eligible or a good candidate for it. Just like when a Native goes to the Council for funds for schooling or entrepreneurial ventures.
Please stop trying to help, we don't need people like you on our side. We have enough loons as it is.
I might not know much about our history , maybe I am Neanderthal
and I don’t agree with what was done in the past with the aboriginals ,the past is the past ,
20 years ago or 200 years ago , settling to Canada was inevitable , if the Europeans never came it would have been someone else , we’d be technologically behind living in mud huts like with the Afghans bathing in the water they **** in ,
Who cares who came here , not all aboriginals are involved in this they don’t ask for anything , 20-% of them work just like you and me ,
All I’m saying is “Special treatment” “Special privileges” and money for complaining peevishly , is a broken record enough is enough , “equal rights” This is not the answer, this created a monster , a never ending cycle and generations of welfare recipients , we are teaching them to be moochers , not to work and that we own them the world , they need to get off the governments tit and stand on there own two feet , and move forward with the rest of society,
in 200 years aboriginals there will be hundreds of million in population mark maybe even more , with this same never ending cycle we have to start weaning them off now
, we might as well just burn our money Or end this cycle , and put money where its needed making Canada a better safer, cleaner place to live, more schools better roads , more police stations, ambulances , etc this could be our generation that ends this

I don't think you are a Neanderthal, you just think like someone who is emotionally upset by something he has no understanding of. Go live on a reservation for a year and come back here and tell us how privileged they are. Read the history not just the biased crap we are fed by the media and schools but listen to their stories. Try and walk a mile in their moccasins before you pass judgment on a people you know nothing about.
This is what happens when laws are made stating the benefits will go on forever as long
as the sun shines etc. In fact it was done to ease the conscience of those who were
stealing the land out from under those who owned it. Don't be too quick to make such a
series of statements our society is seeing a wave of immigration not seen in centuries and
one day many of us may face the same fate, yes I jest.

In most cases, treaties were forced on the Native peoples. In many cases, the colonists identified someone that they appointed as the leader of the tribe or band (someone that they could control) and had them sign a treaty without the tribe even knowing what was being done.
How about paying those tribes for the millions of acres that the governments of Great Britain and Canada stole from them? How about paying for the tens of thousands of Natives slaughtered by disease, war, murder, etc. that the "White Man" imposed on them?
Or in my own familys case, how about paying for the 200 acres of farmland, the house, the furniture, the animals (13 cows, 60 sheep, 5 horses), the wagon, the plows, etc. that they were forced to leave behind because the government of Manitoba refused to honor the title to the land that they had farmed for over 50 years? The government refused to honor the title that had been given by the Hudson's Bay Company, because this was prime river front property, and no "Filthy Half-Breed should have property like that."
Or how about the cultural genocide practiced in the mandatory boarding schools? (And let's not even mention the rape of both girls and boys in those schools.)
In fact, most tribes and bands have democratic elections of tribal/band officials, and have had for many years. If you are going to post something silly like this, it would help if you actually knew something about the subject.
