I agree.  Over and over and over, we 'white people' are raged against for all the 'harm' we have done to indigenous people.   They conveniently forget that because of the 'white settlers' they have so many modern conveniences (including the internet that they use to complain about how hard done by they are).   There are many, many very wealthy FN reserves and they are wealthy ONLY because of their interaction and co-operation with white men.   As for the conditions on northern reserves, what needs to be investigated is WHAT is happening to the money they receive.  Attawapiskat is a case in point -- we here about how terrible conditions are on the reserve but we don't hear so much about the $300 Million and millions in new mobile homes(in addition to government funding) was given to them by the DeBeers corporation.  And NO ONE is forced to stay on the reserves (except to maintain their tax free status).
