@B2VPNGQ2mos2MO
Yes, and Indigenous sovereignty over land and resources should be further recognized by the federal government
@8TY2YD24yrs4Y
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.
@9TYFLTG6mos6MO
Yes, but the Indian Act needs to be repealed.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.
@9FL3CKF2yrs2Y
They should receive less funds but be given back their land and their art such as the artifacts in our museums that belong to them.
@8VRG3DX4yrs4Y
Yes, and gave them their land back or pay reparations.
@8VCNMXY4yrs4Y
They need a good equal start then slowly phased out when they are able to support themselves and blend into society
@8V3LJDS4yrs4Y
No we shouldn’t be giving money to the Native American people anymore. We should help them to be regular citizens. What happened to them was done so many years ago now if we keep dwelling on it things will never improve.
And giving them their land back hurts the people the are currently living there. They need to get of the reservations and be part of the working mans world just like all
of us.
@8TYTP9K4yrs4Y
Tax the churches, put the resources into building healthy communities and provide clean drinking water
@8TB3RV64yrs4Y
It depends on the situation someone is in
@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.
@98M66X42yrs2Y
INAC s very in inefficient. More funding could come from a reorg of INAC
I don't think this is a problem cured by more money. There are deep systemic and cultural issues that cannot possibly go away on their own with a little capital injection.
I don't have an opinion on increasing or decreasing per se. First Nations is an umbrella with hundreds of different cultures and shared experiences beneath it. There is no single approach to fix what they used to call "the Indian Problem", but what broadly manifests as all the tragedy of a colonized, marginalized and discriminated population. Culture takes on a momentum of its own independent of the root causes of change. As plural as the experiences of aboriginals are, so to must be the solutions to end the inhumane marginalization that is happening to these Canadians across the country.
