It depends on how finically stable they are now, and if they're not doing the best, their income could be increased.
@9JS7ZXC1yr1Y
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.
@94CDH9SConservative3yrs3Y
The government does give them money but the chiefs mis use it
@8YVFPD83yrs3Y
First Nations should be allowed to own there reserve land
@8WSL8483yrs3Y
I dont think we should be giving them any money I think we should make a deal so we stop paying them
@8VPX52R4yrs4Y
Yes, but require audits as to how the funds are allocated - must be spent by Aboriginals in the form of education, training, infrastructure, and social programs.
@8V4WT8F4yrs4Y
Yes but they should be receiving help with issues like no clean water and extreme prices in the north.
@8P784MT4yrs4Y
Yes, only if there homeless, or not meeting the basic life needs.
@8CF94Y55yrs5Y
we're all human, we should all receive the same funds
@8CDFTJL5yrs5Y
Yes, but we should also offer assistance in the form of education, training and social programs.
@8CDDRC55yrs5Y
i think maybe not a lot more but a little more
@9C5Q4RV2yrs2Y
The government should ensure that infrastructure and clean water is comparable on reawrvations to that of neighboring municipalities, while respecting sovereignty and supporting self-determination of Indigenous nations.
@9C577CK2yrs2Y
Sovereignty and Treaty agreements should be honored. Equity of infrastructure should exist with the nearest towns.
@98YDF852yrs2Y
To start I think we should sit down and have a conversation to see what they need and how we can assist them. However, overall I would say yes, but they should also have more say in how those funds get used, as there has been a long history of government imposing things on them through the Indian Act, like the band system and other horrible atrocities, such as the Residential School System and banning of cultural practices like the potlach ceremony. There needs to be a more collaborative relationship with all three levels of government so that they can find mutual ways to support one another, and benefit each other as well as our country, and that does require funds, but also giving indigenous people a voice/more democratic participation.
@98XMCC72yrs2Y
Not receive into their pockets for spending but to benefit the communities of their people yes.
