Phase out and education at the same time. They need to be presented with choice and future.

 @8F89P6Nfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

No, Most of the europians who conquered land killed/raped and kept people as slaves but the British atleast gave them land and is now paying them and giving them great benefits.

 @8SVKLJ9from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

 @8SX598Zfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, while also giving them back their land and offering education and social programs to benefit them.

 @96D7SX6from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

As a way to reconcile the past injustices and the ones that still continue that Aboriginal people in Canada face is by government funding. Many more actions should be in place, however financial support is a way to start. Many reservations do not even have clean water. This is disgraceful and sad for this country.

 @8VLT2FLfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Give first nations more authority over their lands including adopt normal citizenship and get rid of 'reservations'.

 @8SB59R5from British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Every nation needs running water. What ever we need to do with out staying stuck in the past needs to be done

 @8QW7HCGfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

no they should get the same as everyone else they shouldnt be getting payed for the bad luck of their ancestors.

 @8TY4RKSfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

I believe their funding should be properly distributed and reinvested with the knowledge of the Indigenous governing bodies into infrastructure and other services to improve the overall quality of life of the aboriginal community.

 @8DJXV7Rfrom British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

we should stop giving natives OUR land and stop doing affirmative action to help them.

 @8SDCL92from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

yes but the money needs to go towards helpful things like hospitails and schooling

 @8S6ZDK4Conservativefrom Ontario  answered…4yrs4Y

No. They have already pawned enough. They need to get a job and start contributing to our economy.

 @B23W322from Ontario  answered…2wks2W

Yes we should be giving them money but the Goverment should be transparent about where the money is going

 @B23QLQZfrom Ontario  answered…2wks2W

think the aboriginals should receive a equal amount but not get their land back due us taking it and using it for our needs but we should help them out and give them money or a discount for immigration for coming back to try and claim their land we should offer them some money to help them and give them free education.

 @B23CRQ3from Nova Scotia  answered…2wks2W

Yes, and we should, without compensation to settler-colonizers, give Indigenous people all of their land back and further compensate them due to the genocides they went through.

 @B22MJBCfrom Ontario  answered…2wks2W

Yes, and we should offer forms of assistance such as education, social programs, clean water, housing, etc.

 @9ZZMBLQfrom Ontario  answered…3wks3W

There's some things which could be worked on. Such as clean drinking water on some reserves. Allocate money where it'd be useful and beneficial.

 @9ZWJ9ZVfrom Nova Scotia  answered…4wks4W

I believe Indigenous people should keep their government funds and promised treaty benefits, but also have more assistance for education and mental health

 @9ZVXBWMfrom Saskatchewan  answered…4wks4W

I think we should give more funds to improve their communities and put some funding into assistance programs

 @9ZNXMHSfrom Ontario  answered…1mo1MO

I would increase funding in the short term while slowly integrating them further with the rest of our citizenship. Not enough to erase the culture, all that culture is important and interesting and something to take pride in, but having them so separated from the rest of the nation is likely to be an issue, in my opinion, long term.

 @9ZGGXJ6from Alberta  answered…1mo1MO

No, but keep their funding and offer education, training, and social programs but funding phases out as they are integrated into society more.

 @9ZDTBDHConservativefrom Alberta  answered…1mo1MO

In addition to changed monetary compensation, land back and other educational and training opportunities should be available.

 @9XGS2GXfrom Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

Government funds should instead be allocated into Indigenous communities and Indigenous led programs with the counsel of Indigenous leaders

 @9WBH4S7from Ontario  answered…2mos2MO

I think yes but also put in to funding all programs. Social, educational training. And the reserves for the very poor ones.

 @9WB3ZBYfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but Have an independent body of indigenous peoples that can, including independent body of indigenous auditors, allocate funds to build infrastructure, provide assistance in the form of education, training, and social programs, renegotiate and / or expand land allocation to ensure access to resources (eg. Fresh water) to ensure the Canadian government is providing their basic human rights and reconciling the past treatment of the indigenous population.

 @9W9Z9G6from British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

I believe first nations communities are ignored and mistreated far too often. We should not just throw more money at the problem, but we need to actually ensure we are treating them as equal citizens and providing them with access to clean drinking water,social programs, and other assistance

 @9W8JCVKfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Throwing money is not the answer. All research and articles published state land and food sovereignty is the solution. Canada should be paying to ensure all Indigenous communities have running water for example.

 @9VWBXVRfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

No, but regulated to activities, living expenses, etc. Not just cash given for any purpose. More funding towards assistance, education and social programs.

 @9VWBXVRfrom British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

Yes, but regulated to activities, living expenses, etc. Not just cash given for any purpose. More funding towards assistance, education and social programs.

 @9VVXF25from British Columbia  answered…2mos2MO

No but reform the laws governing their ability to have equity in projects involving indigenous lands

 @9VQ7L9Dfrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

Yes but there should be a mix of monetary funds and assistance in the form of education, training, and social programs.

 @9VN9Y94from Quebec  answered…3mos3MO

Individual aboriginal people shouldn’t be given funding, but the reservations should receive substantially more funding.

 @9L27DF7Liberalfrom Ontario  answered…9mos9MO

Begin programs for assistance in education, training, and social programs, then begin fading out funding

 @9KSL7MJfrom Alberta  answered…10mos10MO

I am unsure about how much money is allocated for aboriginals, but we should offer education, training, and more social programs.

 @9KNX3BBfrom Alberta  answered…10mos10MO

Aboriginals can continue to receive the current funding, or increase it, but those who qualify for it should be audited on what they use it for to ensure bad generational habits are not passed on.

 @9KN53CCfrom Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

Both monetary funds and we should instead offer assistance in the form of education, training, and social programs

 @9K58RGLfrom Yukon Territory  answered…10mos10MO

No, they should receive exactly the same as any other Canadian. They should receive assistance in any way that they have a lack and a need, equal to that of any other canadian. They should also be required to be citizens.

 @9K3Q433from Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

This question is wrong. The question shouldn't say "Canadian aboriginals" as that is literally calling indigenous people 'NOT normal." The question should say Indigenous, or first nations.

 @9K2HG9Bfrom Ontario  answered…10mos10MO

Yes, Indigenous people should be further compensated for their hardships and use of resources; As well as offer assistance in the form of education, training, and social programs

 @9JWLDK7from Alberta  answered…11mos11MO

Yes, but it should be made sure that they are getting what the pay for. Some communities are on a boil advisory because the water treatment centre on the reserve is not up to code and when complaints are made, the government takes ages to respond. The same goes for housing, some repairs are not done up to standards for the fact that the people are indigenous. Also extra education and social programs for more remote communities would also be of help.

 @9JSPMXFanswered…11mos11MO

Yes, we should give them most of their land back and then leave them alone to form their own government.

 @9JS8GNHfrom Alberta  answered…11mos11MO

It depends on how finically stable they are now, and if they're not doing the best, their income could be increased.

 @9JS7ZXCfrom Alberta  answered…11mos11MO

I believe that my generation and I dont have the resposibility of making up for what our ancestors did over 100 years ago. I think that everyone should have equal rights and equal freedoms.

 @9JM57ZYfrom Alberta  answered…11mos11MO

Yes and no they should be given back how they know life but not take more advantage off this opportunity.

 @9JHHFFYNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…11mos11MO

The Aboriginal Band councils need to be a part of Parliment and the Senate. Then thier voices can be heard, and needs adressed.

 @9JB99CVfrom Saskatchewan  answered…11mos11MO

no cause all lives are precious. instead use that money to take care of the child and the goverment should provide funds for the upkeep of the child.

 @9HVQQ4Janswered…12mos12MO

Give them clean water security and clean up their bad water or relocate them to an area of their choosing

 @9HR4D2Vfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

The Indian act should be removed and indigenous peoples fully seen as apart of the Canadian society.

 @9H9B77Jfrom Saskatchewan  answered…1yr1Y

I feel that rather than spendning so much tax payers money, the government and indeigenous people should come to an agreement, instead of treating them like theyre different, include them. The government should still pay them just not so it hurts other people finacially.

 @9H7ZR6Hfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, however it should be so that they can survive with all the things they NEED. clean water, safe places, stuff like that. they can be independent but they should still have access to clean resources.

 @9GZFFHRfrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

it should remain the same but also we should offer assistance in the form of education, training and social programs

 @9GPTJ2Dfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

No, but funds should be allocated towards building federal, provincial, and municipal governance structures and systems that continue to support decolonization and self-governance

 @9GNXXXTfrom British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

Yes. We've seen a lot of success with moving towards more options for indigenous governments and removing a lot of the Indian Act away from it. We can continue to do this through UNDRIP, TRC/MMIWG and RCAPs recommendations.

 @9GK4HN2from Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Our First Nations people need to be consulted on what they need, what works for them, and how to best help them do that.

 @9GFVHJMfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

they should receive some compensation for all the unceded territory and we should help fund revserves and check in on them to make sure that it is working properly and we should remove laws that restrict traditional indeginous practices (I am Inuk)

 @9GB8B5PLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

I think the amount that they get is fine but the way in which they allocate the money they get should be reviewed so it can be better allocated

 @9GB6TRPfrom Saskatchewan  answered…1yr1Y

Allocated funds should be given in terms of reoperations and support based on regulations in their life, ie. Insurance.

 @9G8599GConservativefrom Alberta  answered…1yr1Y

I am chinese, I believe they don't deserve a penny and should live as a average human by making their own money.

 @9G7KWZYfrom Ontario  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, but allocate funds solely for education, training and social programs that focus on building self-determination and autonomy for Indigenous populations. Additionally, independently audit the finances and spending habits of leaders within those communities (i.e., Chiefs, Council)

 @9FXFB4Wfrom Manitoba  answered…1yr1Y

They should still be funded for the compensation of considering government took their land. but they don't need more in a sense if they're already getting more. idk...

 @9FWQHW3from British Columbia  answered…1yr1Y

Yes, they deserve more funds in the way of ensuring clean drinking water, reducing suicide among youth, funding per-student in residential schools etc…

 @8WMKR66from Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8VTQKZMfrom Quebec  answered…3yrs3Y

Whatever it takes for them to be independent and have successful communities so that they have the knowledge and power to self-actualize and flourish.

 @8VFC6N2New Democraticfrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

Make sure all reserves are up to humane standards and repair or build new infrastructure where needed. Give back more land and stop seizing it for pipelines. More social programs and training.

 @8VF2RRKLiberalfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

Tax the churches and give church land and tax money to the indigenous peoples.

 @8TY2YD2from British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

They should give them their land back and I don’t agree how they are allocated and should be further compensated for their hardship and use of resources and should be phasing out of funding and should be intergrated into society.

 @8TX4X5TConservativefrom British Columbia  answered…3yrs3Y

It all depends what more comes out in regards to the Residential Schools and any other agreements that have not been honored. I have never been more embarrassed to be Canadian and our Prime Minister, as well as the historical handling of aboriginal affairs and deals is the reason for it

 @8TWDTHBConservativefrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Yes, but the aboriginal system is in need of deep reforms. Blank cheques and the status quo will not do. Aboriginal services should be harmonized with comparable provincial services and oversight should be mandatory.

 @8TWBFVRGreenfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

We should allocate more money to band leaders and also support education training etc. Support leaders in their spending and accountability

 @8TV8R2Xfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

No, monetary money , but provide funds in ways of water, housing, food, job training, medical support, services, etc….

 @8TRLT9Sfrom Alberta  answered…3yrs3Y

Money should only be given with independent yearly auditors. The money should go to stopping the reliance on taxpayer money, education, training,…. Education should be mandatory.

 @8RN73F7from British Columbia  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes they should be compensated. The trauma and damage has been passed down through generations. There should be a base compensation and coverage of school, medical, rehab, therapy Ect. I do also think that they should also do a better job trying to Intergrate into society

 @9VM3C67Conservativefrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

I believe that Aboriginals should be respected and looked to for guidance, for the most part, canada is a country of immigrants, the only people who are traditional Canadians are the Aboriginal peoples

 @9VJVW9Hfrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

Any funding should have an auditor to make sure funds are used properly to ensure everyone gets their fair share.

 @9VF6ZNQConservativefrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

No, not personally. Funds should instead go to each reserve community to improve incatructure and ensure clean drinking water and reasonable food prices.

 @9VF5PGSfrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

I think fundonf should continue,and I think that they should be able to apply for more if needed so they can build and develop.

 @9VF4YNBNew Democraticfrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, and we give their land back along with assistance in the form of education, training and social programs so they can live on their land.

 @9VDFPG4from British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

some people take advantage of their government funds, so you have to apply, to contribuite to the goverment

 @9VCFHPMfrom Quebec  answered…3mos3MO

No, I believe that they need to be taught how to spend the money they are getting instead of just receiving money with no knowledge on how to spend it

 @9V9R5P2Conservativefrom Quebec  answered…3mos3MO

I think Aboriginals should receive more government funding. One of the reasons would be the really bad water system they have. They should have more funds to build better hospitals, schools, community centers, elderly homes, and build a better life in general.

 @9V798RXfrom Northwest Territories  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, but spread out where the funds are going and offer assistance such as education, training, and social programs.

 @9TYFLTGfrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, but the Indian Act needs to be repealed. The process of reconciliation will need new legislation to foster nation-to-nation cooperation, which will decide how these funds are spent.

 @9TXBP2YIndependentfrom British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

Yes, but need to verify through third party audit being received and spent to benefit of all aboriginals, or as intended when the funding was provided.

 @9TWK4RLConservativefrom Ontario  answered…3mos3MO

I feel that the current spending on Canadian Aboriginals is a good amount and can increase a little more, but also allow them to have the option to integrate freely within society however they please.

 @9TNXQSYConservativefrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

i believe if they are using the funds to grow their tribe economically then yes but if they are abusing this privilege then no

 @9TM7VZ2from British Columbia  answered…3mos3MO

I think that they should get the same funding as they do now I just don’t know how much they’re getting

 @9TGFKC4from Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

I think if they need the funds, they can get them, but if they don't want and/or need them, then they don't have to have them.

 @9TGBW8CConservativefrom Alberta  answered…3mos3MO

Indigenous nations should receive compensation from the government so that they can adequately govern their own nation. The amount of funds that the nation is to receive should be between the government and the elders of the nation.

 @9T98NNNConservativefrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

Due to the history of colonization, many Indigenous people have mental health issues, addiction issues, and there is a lot of unemployment, and physical health issues (diabetes). I have gone on the reserves and the situation is horrid. These things need to be addressed instead of just throwing money like it's gonna solve everything. The government should also give them their land back and invest in programs where Indigenous people can learn and return to their ancestral culture.

 @9T5KD4Mfrom Alberta  answered…4mos4MO

Keep current Government funding. Slowly phase into social resources instead of funds. Whilst providing monetary compensation, restructure into a more efficient and supportive grant for a positive impact.

 @9T4WHQFfrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

they should keep a bit of government funds. But focus on offering assistance with education, training, and social programs. However they should be able to keep their culture safe

 @9T3VJQSNew Democraticfrom Ontario  answered…4mos4MO

We should work with indigenous communities and leaders and figure out strategies in the most equitable way to help them build their communities up that reduces systemic racism. Whether its through funding, programs or regulation, they should be at the forefront at making these decisions.

 @9T2RLC5from British Columbia  answered…4mos4MO

We need to do more to enable reconciliation - which begins with land back, but also acknowledges the inequities that persist due to years of colonialism, and shifting services to account for those inequities. So that means enabling them to be self determining, self-governed and accountable to their people.

 @9SZ2Z7PConservativefrom Alberta  answered…4mos4MO

I think that aboriginals should be allowed to exist somewhat separate from the rest of society, not needing to worry about funds and living as they see fit. If any of them wish to integrate into society they should feel free too,

 @9SGVD4Rfrom Alberta  answered…4mos4MO

Yes, but the money provided should be audited to ensure it is used for the purpose it was given for.
