before you leave a comment study the first nations history. we people do support ourselves but we fall under discrimination that is called the indian act. what she is talking about is when a white child is in the system the family that adopts them gets 70 cents more to the dollar to raise this child which is about 2500 per month a first nations child 900... to tell me who is supporting who here it about EQUALITY

[@Maya_Ruinz]

Very similar problems south of the border across the US. Native Americans living in poverty, poor housing, poor education opportunities, living without the same benefits givin to White Americans. Another big problem that is similar to Canada is the disappearance of women from reservations across the country.
