First Nations are just that, legal entities that pre date Canada, as such, like when we pay a company for a service, I used the example of Ford and GM, we don't get to know or direct what Ford does with that money.

Of course we don't get to direct (and neither is the case here), but those companies are publicly traded and financial statements are released every year..so ya you have an idea what it does with it's money.
