Get rid of the Indian Act. Everyone born in Canada should be a Canadian Citizen.

No, Most of the europians who conquered land killed/raped and kept people as slaves but the British atleast gave them land and is now paying them and giving them great benefits.

Phase out and education at the same time. They need to be presented with choice and future.

 @8VRZZBXfrom Ontario  answered…3yrs3Y

 @8SX598Zfrom Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

Yes, while also giving them back their land and offering education and social programs to benefit them.

 @8SVKLJ9from Alberta  answered…4yrs4Y

no because what are they going to do drink even more

 @96D7SX6from Ontario  answered…2yrs2Y

As a way to reconcile the past injustices and the ones that still continue that Aboriginal people in Canada face is by government funding. Many more actions should be in place, however financial support is a way to start. Many reservations do not even have clean water. This is disgraceful and sad for this country.

Texas Offers Trump 1,400 Acres for His Mass Deportation Dream

Officials in Texas have offered President-elect Trump a 1,400-acre ranch for his mass deportation plan.Dawn Buckingham, land commissioner of the Texas General Land Office, said in a letter to Trump Tuesday that her office was “fully prepared” to work with federal agencies that are going to be involved in Trump’s immigration plan, and specifically deportation.Buckingham offered Trump a 1,402-acre lot in Starr County. The lot is owned by the Texas General Land Office and is roughly 35 miles west of McAllen, Texas.She said the agency is ready to work with the Department of Homeland Security and Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) or the U.S. Border Patrol to build a facility on the land for “the processing, detention, and coordination of the largest deportation of violent criminals in the nation’s history.”“I am committed to using every available means at my disposal to gain complete operational security of our border,” Buckingham wrote.The letter and offering of land were first reported by The Texas Tribune. Last month, the state bought the land along the U.S.-Mexico border and has plans to build a wall.In the letter, Buckingham criticized her predecessor for not allowing a border wall to be built on the property. Those actions “enabled cartel members and violent criminals to sexually abuse migrant women and children on this land,” she said.On Monday, Trump signaled he would declare an immigration national emergency and use military assets to support his mass deportation plan when he returns to office.
