So you're basing your perception of Natives on your experience from a single reserve? From all my research, the variations in the quality of reserves are massive. And considering the amount of reserves in Canada, that's a very hard statement to justify. Also do you include the 70% of Aboriginals living off reserves? Where their level of education is almost the same as non-Aboriginal Canadians?
