These reservations and the Indian Act are literally a suicide pact.

I think if the Native Chiefs and the Natives and the Federal Government were all honest with themselves they would look at the fact that a lot of these reservations are located where there will never be economic opportunities and they will never be sustainable and start finding a way to give incentives for Natives to either move to other reservations or leave the reservation system as a whole.

It might cost some extra money over the short term to do it, but in the long term it would probably be a solid investment.

I get the whole ancestral lands thing and the link to the area, but every human being has to choose between beliefs and survival.

That time is rapidly coming.
