The 15% in Nunavut don't speak English or French, they still get Canadian social services, watch Canadian TV and some get by quite well in Canada. Call them multicultural Canadians because they sure aren't Iranians or Chinese or Arabs.
There are better businesses than casinos. It snot good a few families run them and take all the profits and the rest of the band gets little.
The fed govt treated the Inuit poorly, no question. There were poor and wards of the state, they had no power and no money. So the govt did "something" and created additional problems. Education is a good idea, but it was terribly executed for aboriginals. No one is into imperialism any longer, so now many languish in places like Attawaspaskit and are hooked on drugs, uneducated, with lousy job skills, due to benign neglect. The fed govt, like most Canadians, have no clue or interest in aborginals.
Its like hockey, Canada has more minor hockey players than all of Europe, yet they have very good teams that can beat us. They pick the best young and nurture them. In Canada, our hockey system is survival of the fittest. Good system for us, not so good for aborginals.
