with what, money and programs?

Hardly.
Money and programs are just a band aid, I agree with that but they are still necessary. So you think we should not give them money and other special programs? How will that make things better? I will remind you that state sponsored assimilation projects for First Nations people have failed miserably. [/b][/quote]
The reserve cash handouts is essentially racist. It basically makes sure Indians STAY on the reserve.
You are nurturing these people to be completely dependent on unsustainable resources. How will they ever be equal when they are forced to keep sucking at the government's teat?
