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.

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
