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?

How do you propose to make them equal? I do believe that there needs to be a whole lot more of nation and agency building within the community and that the hand outs do need to be phased out. That said, it's not like you stop the handouts and instantly they become equal and better off.
