I grew up in Northern Sasky and my hometown had 4 reserves nearby. I got to know a lot of the reserve kids from hockey and other sports and only one of them made the effort to go to Uni on the government's dime. I've said it before in other threads about the reserves: contracts or not - the treaties are destroying an entire nation of people living in Canada and everyone is too afraid of the political suicide to do anything about it. Tear those treaties up - force assimilation into modern society and watch those problems disappear.
