$35 - $50k per person for being placed in non-aboriginal homes during the 60s causing a loss of their identity and culture.
I'm really tired of settlements, land claims, agreements from the 1800s. We're all Canadians, plain and simple. No further special treatment for X group over Y group.
I could go on and on about this settlement, but isn't this like putting a Dutch kid into a German home or a Catholic into an atheist home?
Some kids have a very rough go and it's great our society has a social system in place. In 3rd world countries, we'd be homeless. This just grinds my gears more than the other threads.

You've got to be kidding me, right?
Have your people been through a significant plight in recent history like this?
The Canadian government set out on a mission to destroy a culture and they succeeded and now they have to pay for it.
