I spent a whole winter on an Indian Reservation east of Calgary back in the 70's and came to the conclusion that the only way the Natives were going to get off the dole and better their way of life, was to create some enterprise that enabled them to support themselves.

IMO, casinoes may be part of the answer to their problems. Hopefully, in the long run, the casinoes will give them greater feeling of self worth than they receive from the Federal system.
