Girls would start chasing guys ? <| sep |> 1 . People can define the current native situation however they like but Europeans showed up with enough power to literally see them as part of the environment . Getting caught up in semantics is a ridiculous waste of time . They were conquered and if they weren ' t they would be the governmentpower in Canada . 2 . So tell me about the misspending within treaty lands and chief spending and then get back to me . If the government had full control of this aspect how treaty money is spent the reserves would be in a much better state . The corruption is systemic within the community itself . 3 . How about taking responsibility for oneself and ones current situation rather than insisting its everyone else ' s fault ? If native Canadians could come to terms with their current socioeconomic conditions and strive to improve them , rather than continuing to suckle the teat of the government , the communities would develop a deeper sense of pride and self worth . All we have now is a bunch of entitled children claiming this is all their land . Hello ? Reality calling . The government allowed this entitlement and now the modern Canadian is paying for it . 4 . I have unfortunately yet to meet a native Canadian that isn ' t racist towards white Canadians . 5 . What obligations ? Handouts right ? This is the problem , and no I ' m not responsible for this and you assuming I am speaks of the true message here . If native Canadians were more proactive and looked to improve themselves rather than waiting for everyone to do it for them I think they would find more success . What they fail to understand is that the common Canadian is beginning to see through the bullshit . Hard working individuals come to this country every day and attempt to begin a new life . They work hard in an attempt to contribute to their families and their community . Why should we assist those who refuse to assist themselves , are increasingly withdrawn from mainstream society , and insist that we pay for something that we have no control over , and continuously ask for more . Natives had it bad with the residential schools , I get that . But lets not forget that compulsory attendance to these schools ended in 1948 . After that the only reason to send them was for the baby bonus tax break . I believe for native Canadians the only way forward is a good look within .
