So APPARENTLY you can get money if youre a native who was forced to go to day school which as a racist colonizer you would think is literally just school.
BUT apparently no. Day schools, chud, were JUST as bad as residential schools, maybe worse because they had to cram 24 hours of oppression into just 8.
The government paid out like 6 BILLION dollars to the heya hoyas in an effort to put the matter to rest but they want to reopen the settlement because they spent all their money on smokes and lottery tickets already or smth.
Basically this means they will be able to keep the settlements open in perpetuity all the while launching new ones, on top of the other ever increasing funding they ask for.

The Indian act is the worst piece of legislation in the history of legislation, maybe ever.

Tbh a bigger issue is that we are trapped by r-slurred proceduralism. We will follow the rules to a T even if it means full well knowing that we are totally fricking ourselves by doing so. Like the Indian Act, should have just torn it up when we had the chance and told the natives tough shit. Would have been better for us and them.

It's that every single legal interpretation of the Indian Act ignores the historical context, and finds in favour of today's Indigenous groups.
It's how we've gotten into the ridiculous situation of "Indigenous" people (most of whom are of mostly European ancestry, at least in the east) being able to set their own rules regarding resource harvesting, gambling, sale (and taxation) of controlled substances to the general public, all the while not paying any federal taxes to money earned on Reserve, having access to vast benefits not available to other Canadians also having full access to the welfare state (healthcare etc), yet STILL playing victim and demanding more gibs.
Talking about this in public is anathema however. I've been banned from many subreddits for merely suggesting that there are multiple tiers of Canadian citizenship.

Or you could just stop kneecapping your society for the sake of assuaging white guilt instead of having to choose between extermination and future self-destruction

This sounds shocking and horrible at first, but then you gotta remember 99% of that went straight back into liquor companies and diabetes medicine.

By way of Northern Store

Northern Store is actually the North West company which was basically the British East India Company but for leafland. Their head office has cannons off the old ships and their current trade routes are literally identical to the fur trade/slave/sugarcane routes they started off with in the age of sail.
The rez chiefs always get a cut of the profits in each community that's why no one's raised the issue

Bribing chiefs is how you get anything done with heya hoyas

I don't think Northern sells liquor. I bet there's less than 10 liquor stores over the three territories.

SO BRAVE
Yes they are sooo courageous to be for the current thing. It's so hard to be for social justice, just so hard and it's so scary, you have to be soooo super duper brave
This will literally never end. The school system has systematically indoctrinated our entire populace into thinking giving them more money is the answer, and that we will never do “enough” for them. It's just gonna be constant hand outs while the whole country continues to stagnant and we fall behind every other G7 nation. I blame white women the most though, they love all this guilt tripping and handouts more than anyone
