@8RN73F74yrs4Y
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
@9VF4YNBNew Democratic6mos6MO
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.
@9LW6VNF11mos11MO
Canadian Aboriginals should be given land back. Instead of forcing them to integrate into Canadian society, we should see them as neighbours. If Canadians and Aboriginals worked together, it would be easier for both parties to navigate the system. Some of the funds should be directed towards proper living conditions, education, and training.
@9FHC68P2yrs2Y
Yes, for social support programs
@9FFQGLD2yrs2Y
Oversight to ensure that all indigenous benefit from the funding
@99YGP3Y2yrs2Y
Yes and the government should stop taking more of their lands. Military action should also be used less in dealing with protests.
@96J7SWV2yrs2Y
Yes, but make the chief show where the money goes and what it’s used for
@95HLMBC3yrs3Y
We need to let aboriginals decide their path forward in Canada.
@8ZTF98BNew Democratic3yrs3Y
Yes, but we should also offer more assistance in the form of education, training, and social programs.
@8VYZLVY4yrs4Y
As an indigenous citizen, the government funding causes more divided between aboriginal people and non-aboriginal peoples. By giving more to one population then the other, we will never succeed to be an equal society.
@8VSM5VK4yrs4Y
Yes, but only for specific issues.
@8VRG3DX4yrs4Y
Yes, and gave them their land back or pay reparations.
@8VLLY7S4yrs4Y
Indigenous people definitely deserve compensation; however, further discussion needs to take place for appropriate funding to happen.
@8VHCK5J4yrs4Y
No, instead provide them the land
@8VCV2P64yrs4Y
Release ALREADY OWNED funds to Indigenous Organizations that show fiscal responsibility, allow them to self-govern.
@8VCSXRL4yrs4Y
They should receive whatever monetary funds are necessary to assist with education, training, THERAPY, and social programs
@8V5QQBQNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Why don’t we ask them what they need?
@8V4WT8F4yrs4Y
Yes but they should be receiving help with issues like no clean water and extreme prices in the north.
@8V3GQPL4yrs4Y
They need to show they are properly using the funding but should also start integrating society and learn how to function without funding.
@8TXCQPH4yrs4Y
Instead of giving them money, we should make sure they have clean water, suitable grocery options, and all the same things someone non-indigenous had
@8TTD28Q4yrs4Y
I think they should receive clean water, funding for therapy, schooling, food, etc. But Chiefs should allocate that money fairly to everyone in their communities
No, but the funding should be put to better the reserves, for example water supply.
@8TJ4SZR4yrs4Y
I think that in the current state of the indigenous peoples well being and lives I believe that they should be receiving much more funding and also we should be sending people to help them with the fresh water issue.
@8TGTNQL4yrs4Y
Combined 2societies, no money needed
@8TG999K4yrs4Y
Depends on the population (numbers).
@8SZB62G4yrs4Y
I think that the government should listen to what they are saying is fair for the past
@8SPV8724yrs4Y
I don't believe the solutions are solved with these answers as it's too complex.
@8RVLFP44yrs4Y
The funds should all be equal
@8RRXMQT4yrs4Y
Giving back their sacred land.
@8RCKS7G4yrs4Y
Yes, please change this to "Indigenous"
@8QWVC4L4yrs4Y
Yes, and the government should give them their land back as well as offer more assistance in the form of education, training, counselling, rehabilitation, etc
@aaliyahvNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, and the government should give them their land back. Also, we should offer assistance in the form of education, training and social programs, and abolish the Indian Act.
@8P7GPDV4yrs4Y
Keep doing what your doing, I think the money should be better managed though
Take the Truth and reconciliation act seriously, and follow the recommendations laid out, it will solve all the problems
@8NM9SBM4yrs4Y
@8JV5RYNNew Democratic4yrs4Y
Yes, but in the form of education, training and social programs. As well as funding for public education of why we are providing the funding and to help with systematic racism in our country towards our Aboriginal community.
@8F9XB8L5yrs5Y
We should all have an equal amount of government fund given by the government.
@9CKJFNN2yrs2Y
Yes, but only to become entirely independent.
@99PZFMG2yrs2Y
Yes, because if they are new to the country, then they are coming in with barely any money to keep a decent roof over their head so the government should be more supportive financially of the immigrants.
@976W6GTRhinoceros2yrs2Y
no, the amount given is fine by its self
@96QM73H2yrs2Y
We need to include Indigenous peoples in every we do. We need to build Canada's future together. Together we are much stronger.
@8V5848X4yrs4Y
No they should just be treated with the same respect as any other citizen and get basic necessities
@8TKD6G74yrs4Y
Let them live independently and how they want to live.
@9CXQ8MZ2yrs2Y
I think it depends. Try making sure everyone has clean drinking water and can find the bodies of loved ones. Handing out money to some while others suffer is nonsense.
@947VBF73yrs3Y
We should be providing them with more rights and giving them land, water, and food that is safe to live on and consume.
@8PDQ35D4yrs4Y
The systems of dealing with Indigenous issues are fundamentally flawed and need extreme changes to be effective, whether or not that involves changing government funding
