Natives need to be helped, but never monetarily. It's been proven time and time again that throwing money at the problem doesn't help anybody.
Showing them the benefits of business development, resource extraction etc and helping them set that up is a start.
They have a lot of land that can be used for possibly tourism development or power generation which Alberta lacks, maybe wind farms or hydro dams for sale to Albertans or the u.s. They have a lot of land for big opportunities.
They have a lot of strengths, it's about using those strengths and opportunites they have to benefit themselves and the land that they live on.
