<div>] osoyoos -&nbsp;http://www.torontosun.com/2013/01/25/canadas-first-nations-successful-bands-are-dictating-their-own-fate</div>
<div>] 1.2 million - 4% cdn total ] 25% living on reserve ]&nbsp;Just over 200 reserves have as many as 500 residents. Nearly two-thirds of our 617 reserves have far fewer than 500 inhabitants. ] This points out the absurdity of thinking of these tiny settlements, often in very remote locations, as "nations." So long as Native-rights activists cling to the demand that their villages, hamlets and small towns be afforded the same respect by Ottawa as Germany, China and the UK, there will be no solving the problems facing our reserves and the people who live on them.</div>
<div>
<div>] There are bands scattered across the country that have begun to pull themselves and their members out of the mire. And the really good news is that there are more and more such bands every year.</div>
<div>Chief Clarence Louie of the Osoyoos band in B.C.'s Okanagan Valley has worked hard for more than a quarter century to gain permission from Ottawa to lease reserve land for shopping centres, golf courses and other outside businesses. He and his members even opened the first aboriginal winery in North America. Employment on the reserve is up, suicide and social problems are down. And the chief recommends that other reserves eager to lift themselves out of destitution "go into business."</div>
<div>Former Kamloops band chief Manny Jules, who is now head of the First Nations Tax Commission, spends most of his time trying to convince other First Nations to trigger provisions in federal law that permit bands to set up property tax regimes on their reserves to get away from dependence on federal government handouts. Jules believes charging band members taxes also leads to local leaders being accountable to their residents, rather than the other way around.</div>
<div>
<div>Annually for the last five years, Winnipeg's Frontier Centre for Public Policy has produced an Aboriginal Governance Index (AGI) to evaluate the honesty and openness of on-reserve administration and to rate the efficiency of on-reserve services. Although confined largely to Prairie bands, the exercise has shown progress each time towards fairer elections and more transparent aboriginal government.</div>
<div>The 2012 AGI, for instance, found 54% of more than 3,000 respondents felt the elections on their reserves were "definitely fair." Although slightly lower than the confidence off-reserve voters have in their local elections, the gap is closing.</div>

</div>
<div><strong><br /></strong></div>
<div>Until the day when race based laws are wiped away completely from Canadian law and the constitution, and all treatise are disowned by all, there will be problems and natives will be on the short end of the stick. Separate but equal never works. Ever.</div>
<div><strong>u/redriverblues</strong></div>
<div>
<div>I think it's self evident that policies for refugees work (ie normalisation) and policies for FN fail (separate but equal). Every single attempt to make separate but equal work will fail. I think there are vested interests within the FN community for whom separate but equal works very well for, and they make a killing (ie chiefs, etc). I think there's an army of non-FN "advisors" who also make a killing and are understandably vested in maintaining the status quo.</div>
<div>Separate but equal can be summarized thusly: you get all the rights of a standard citizen plus a battery of other rights, privileges (including the collection of rents for natural resources). I'll call this rights-plus. Also, the state is officially responsible for their interests (whereas I alone am responsible for my interests). Part of rights-plus is the right to not be responsible. So for even the average schmuck on a reservation who lives in squalor, it's a hard sell to say it's in their interest to give up rights-plus. But it is in their interest because they'll never achieve standard outcomes unless they have standard responsibilities. Furthermore, they'll never get standard respect if they are seen to have rights-plus.</div>
<div>The biggest losers of rights-plus isn't the taxpayer (who takes it hard mind you). It's FN people. They're fucking dying.</div>
</div>

<div><strong>u/redriverblues</strong></div>
</div>
<div><strong><br /></strong></div>
<div>
<div>&gt; And again, unilateral deprivation of treaty rights by the stronger party without the contest of First Nations is meant to be an improvement how, exactly?</div>
<div>I believe equality in the law is an improvement, yes. Unashamedly. A unilateral cessation of race based rights and a new regime of racial equality is a superior way. I will need you to argue convincingly that citizens of the same country should not have equal rights,and that it is moral to distribute rights by means of a racial test.</div>
<div>Your 'solution' is assimilation. Last time we tried to force that to happen it didn't go so well.</div>
<div>Yes. My solution is assimilation. Unashamedly. Assimilation, not into "white society"... That doesn't exist anymore. Assimilation into 2016, into global society. The world has no need or time for traditionalism or neolithic ideas. We don't need more hunters or fishermen. We need more cancer cures and more exploration of the galaxy.</div>
