Nope, I was just by chance talking to a Canadian native friend. He's working outside of L.A. at a native casino. I asked him if it helped get him the job through his heritage. No, he's only one of five or six natives working there and he got it because of his resume. He said the reserve is in pretty bad shape and with the money coming in now, they can afford better and more drugs.

Doesn't seem to be any simple answer but the native kids deserve a decent life. On another note, I've seen some decent reserves and met a lot of good people there.
Oh yeah, he misses playing hockey but he hopes to get to some baseball games.
