Look at the reservations — it often seems like they haven’t received the funds allocated to them. I fully support the idea of them having control over their land, but it's important that government funds are used effectively for this purpose if there is to be a discussion about additional funding.

We take care of everyone but ourselves, but we all pay taxes for it, even more so the harder working indivuals.

Natives have been robbed for thousands of years. They were here first and I believe they should get their lands back and be compensated more than enough for everything the Canadian government has done to them. There should be support groups and lots of programs for this as well. There should be awareness among the community outside of the Native community so that Canadians can understand why this is important.
Aboriginal citizens of Canada should receive more funding. This is because we deserve to be treated better by the government, and the country as a whole. Aboriginal peoples have been oppressed for a very long time. The government funding for Indigenous people in Canada has been extremely unreliable. The government has made many promises, yet most reservations still don't even have clean water. This is a problem that should be fixed as soon as possible. We deserve better. We have been imprisoned in residential schools, and are currently dealing with the unmarked graves, and the missing and murdered indigenous women and girls.

native funding helps with social and economic development for underdeveloped native people on reserves or in canada
@9LY7FFG11mos11MO
Aboriginals should receive more government funds as a part of the truth and reconciliation. Native peoples in Canada have historically not been treated very well and economic aid is the minimum amount of compensation that we should give to these people who have been oppressed in the past by the church and the Canadian government.
they have been mistreated over the years, so I think they deserve more funding than the average person.

The native people's of Canada have been on this territory for far longer and our ancestors took the land form them by force which isn't right and they still to date don't have clean water.
The indigenous peoples were the ones which can to this country first. They made Canada the land that it is. As they were wiped away by the racism of our country in the past, we should pay them back using funding from our government.

Their land was robbed from them by ungrateful people so they deserve to at least be funded by them since they want to take over.
@9GTQ2291yr1Y
Wasting wildlife and neglecting the environment with littering. They have different laws, and from what I have heard, they do a lot of drugs too
@9FKGRCH2yrs2Y
My best counter to the No position on Native funding is that since the First Nations people live in Canada.
@9G943CG1yr1Y
Indigenous people are the people of this land, the land everyone is living on right now was first the land of Indigenous people. Indigenous people went from having all of this, everything they needed, to now being pushing into small reservers where they can't even get clean water to drink from, the ability to vote is much harder.
