Is it fair that whites took their land and live the good life while aboriginals live in such conditions. Government assistance for aboriginals is good but does not go far enough.

So it’s the people’s fault that lives in nice houses in Mount Royal that the reserves are in such squalor? How so? As far as I can tell the natives manage they’re own reserves, which would make it they’re responsibility to use the money accordingly. How does throwing more money resolve this if they're not managing it properly anyway? It's always the "white mans" fault and natives never look at themselves in the mirror and ask what they can do to help themselves. You may be entitled to some land but not my tax dollars. And I think you got it wrong, it's not government assistance, it’s complete and utter government dependence.
