There are reserves in Canada that are operated like municipality, and they tend to do much better. There was an article in Mcleans a while ago talking about it.
Also, the only reason we still have a 'reserve' problem is because any politician with enough balls to talk about ending it and getting the people on them integrated into society would instantly be labeled AS a racist by the aboriginal community first, and then by everyone else is too much of a coward to want get rid of the stupid system, and make the tough choices that forces aboriginals to start looking at themselves as citizens of Canada, and not citizens of their 3rd world &$#@hole.
