I don't get the feeling from our elected Parliamentarians, whom I'm not defending, that we are being confined with no hope to an impoverished ghetto frozen in time by a system they rigidly defend and based on the colour of our skin so that they might personally profit from the narrow concentration of power.

When a band gets money the money usually goes to the chief, he then distributes the money to the families within the band. One of the reasons why some bands are worse off than other is because the chief doesn't divide the money equally or fairly. The chief might keep a good chunk for him and his family while the family down the road gets nothing. Sounds like our government to me.
And i don't think that Natives are confined with no hope in an impoverished ghetto, but i think that's a hell of a good job by our government and media to paint that picture.
