It's been a few generations since you have been exploited more than anyone else for personal gain.  So any poverty is for the most part on you.  btw a role model and/or man of integrity would not take any subsidies or benefits they would lead by example; handouts would be anathema to them .  They would also openly admit with this issue of murdered and missing indigenous women that the bigger culprits are also the indigenous men and call that out.   That is integrity and honesty.
