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.
