"If natives had the same work ethic / desire to work and lived off the reserve they would enjoy the same benefits."
I think I painted everyone with the same brush with that statement and it was a bad judgement call.
What I meant was, if perpetually unemployed able-bodied natives had the same desire to work and live off the reserve, they would have the opportunity to better their lives.
I know plenty of native people that live on and off the reserve and are great people.
