So....the average native family...they make what......$15k-20k/year? Less? yeah I would say the $275,000.00 is pretty sweet.
So......if the Natives get paid to have to road built on their land does that also mean they have to pay if they want to drive/lay on it?

That money will drastically improve the lives of a lot of people. A few will squander it, but that's to be expected, no matter where they live or what colour their skin.
I don't think a toll booth set up on the reserve is out of the question, either.
Edit: I've also heard rumblings that Calgary police and EMS won't respond to the Casino if something happens there and that it has to be the band police. No idea
