Should Canadian aboriginals receive more government funds?

no because what are they going to do drink even more

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

I would sooner see the government first fund projects to improve quality of life on indigenous land, such as ensuring clean drinking water nation wide, and adequate housing.

No, further reservations should be dissolved and made into provincial parks with a sacred area for aboriginals. They should be integrated into society with help from the government to get their feet under them as well as bring their culture into protected national status to become part of our national identity (barring any practices that cause harm or have the potential to damage sensitive ecology).

No, we should all be together, however, as with all other faiths, honour indigenous beliefs and practices. We need to move on and work alongside each other as humans, not us vs them mentality

Yes, but the funds should also include education, training, social programs, and ensuring access to basic necesities like clean drinking water.

No, the funds being given to the aboriginal community should be needs based and more scrutiny is required to ensure that these funds are positively impacting the aboriginal people.

Aboriginal people need to have that support to compensate for their hardships and use of resources. Although it also depends on the person who is being funded. Many studies show that young Aboriginal kids end up to drug use due to the money they posses after a certain age. The government should track the drug use of Aboriginal parents to prevent passing down the habit and mindset. Rather than helping the aboriginal community, the funds end up destroying it due to the generational trauma

I say no but the reason I say no is because if you look at the quality of some reserves they aren't taken care of and some places they don't try to work for better for themselves, that's why I think there should be more social projects and other things like better subsidized housing.

I think they should continue getting government funds but I also think that if they want more they should show the government that they are worthy of getting it by taking care of their belongings, putting the money towards neccesities and getting a solid job to show responsibility.

Yes should receive more government funds for reservations helping rebuild homes and fund more to help with access to clean drinking water

no, because how do you know what they are using those funds for? the funds should go directly towards what needs them and it should be used to educate the enitre world not just for aboriginals

It's not that they should receive more but in my opinion they should receive a mixture of education, funding, food, social programs and land

No we should slowly phase out funding we should instead offer assistance in the form of education, training, and social programs. They shouldn't be allowed to sit down when everyone else is working unless you plan to live off of your land

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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

Yes, also give them back their land...and stop calling them aboriginals

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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.

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,

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

I believe that the funding model for indigenous communities needs to be revisited. I believe there needs to be better transparency and audits for those receiving funding and to disallow self-governance if there is mismanagement or a lack of accountability on the intention of the allocated funds. It requires standardized regulations, assistance and oversight. Public reporting on the use of government funds should be required and a collaborative approach should be taken.

The federal government should move to harmonize federal service provision with provincial equivalents and ensure operational funding levels and per capita access to education is equivalent for on-reserve aboriginals.

Give more money to aboriginal tribes on their land, with the land that we haven't destroyed back. Offer help in education, training and social programs. Let the people who want to live their traditions do so. Make assurances that the land will be taken care of though.

I believe that they should get funds in order to get proper housing, schooling, clean water, and rehabilitation services since the substance abuse rates are extremely high in their communities. They should not be able to use that money for casino's, gambling, etc.

I believe the current funding is sufficient and we should offer assisstance in the form of education, training and social programs.

we should integrate them into our society with a little help/guidance

NO funds because they lost the battle

their goofy ahhs already get too much money and live for free They make fun of immigrants and are fully funded by the goverment they shouldn't have to get money from my l loser guy Trudeau

just equal as the normal people

No, I feel everyone should be treated equaly and they make enough from the government I don't think they use the money for the right, or at least some of them so I think they are just fine

Indigenous people should have access to resources that embrace their culture. The ability to learn their mother tongue for free. Instead of giving them money give them access to mental health services, health care, healthy food and housing. Indigenous people need to be trained so they can make more money.

Depends on the situation of Canadian Aboriginals, and if they think they should compensate for it.

Yes but we should also offer more assistance in the form of education, training, and social programs

Yes I still think the government should give indigenous people funding but also more services and ressources to help them thrive in their society.

Yes , but put it into help with education and social program

yes because we have taken their land

Keep the current funding as is.

Yes, but make the chief show where the money goes and what it’s used for

bebebebebebebebebe

Don’t have an opinion

DOesnt matter

No, but atleast give backs ome of the land back

Yes, used to help bring up the standard of living and help their communities but also have a long term phasing out plan to allow them to function without assistance.

I think it is good where it is

We need to let aboriginals decide their path forward in Canada.

Yes, if they need it or request over it.

The aboriginal people should be given certain amounts of money each month. Because with all the money they are getting they don't have to work and just spend the money on drugs, and all the kids get sucked into this. They need to all have jobs and slowly get out of that loops.

The government does give them money but the chiefs mis use it

I am fine with the funds they are receiving as of right now.

Yes, but only so long as it goes to the people on the reservations who direct need it and not linking the cheif's pockets

Will I think both side’s should be audited like the Canadian government and the aboriginals, and we should offer assistance in the form of education, training, and social programs.

They should give better access to things like healthcare and essential needs to them, and they should better educate the public about their cultures to decrease the stereotyping and racism that they still face. There are people who still face discrimination for being Indigenous.

No, They should also know how to support them self

No, but their leaders need to be accountable to their constituents for their spending.

Yes, and aboriginals should be consulted during the planning of energy infrastructure, while providing promised services.

they should receive everything they were promised initially in the treaty

Even though the aborigionals originated from this land, we are the ones who expanded it and brought many key featres to it as well.

Give them there land back, keep the government from intervening.

First Nations should be allowed to own there reserve land

Yes, in the way of programs to teach our peoples about our culture and our ancestors and, rehabilitation, and subsidized housing.

Yes and we need to continue our work on reconciliation with indigenous communities

no, we should return their their land back and give them funds to set up their own social programs and to educate their own people

help them with things they need ie clean water

no they don't deserve canadian money

ya if needed

The fund is fine maybe more land and better resources for the reserves.

I dont think we should be giving them any money I think we should make a deal so we stop paying them

Give the aboriginals 1/4 of the current funding they're receiving so that money can go to other services.

No, they should be given more autonomy of their people and land, not only on reserves but all of canada.

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.

No, aboriginals should receive no government funds immediately

This is a complicated issue that will be difficult to resolve without having proper discussions with each first nation's community.

Yes but there should be a Committee assigned to ensure proper distribution to avoid corruption!

I don't have enough knowledge about this topic.

Yes, if this required but we have to ensure it is getting to Community members who need it.

No, we should offer them their land instead

No, they should be integrated into our society as citizens but recognized as equals in our society as no prejudice and no difference of people. How are we supposed to be considered united when even the government makes it seem as they are any different then us. There's no difference ad they are humans. Same as us.

Yes, but we should also be allocating funds and resources to enriching their communities, education and job readiness.

No, I believe the aboriginals need clear water, more land, community/ social programs, education/ training and help on healing from the crimes against them, but throwing money at the problem will just continue the cycle.

No, continue as is with more support for another decade when they are made aware that monitary funds will be qualitied for as anyone else. They should be receiving more mental, social, educational supports, and better land where they have more access to the economy and support in development of jobs in these locations.

Yes, I believe aboriginal people should have more assistance in their communities. housing and utilities being top priorities

Give them scholarships, social programs , training and first before al fix the water on every reservation

Depends on how bad they need the funds and where its going to be used or allocated.

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.
