Actually, as I see it WT, the issue is the bolded sentence of yours, and sorry to single you out. This is a common thought by non-native Canadians.
What you are saying (as I read it) is that there are no productive/useful/happy Natives in Canadian society. This is the crux of the matter, and I still struggle with it.
