What you say Tom is partly true for your part of the country. The bands are supposed to give audited accounts of the money they receive from Goverment but with a few exceptions this has not been done. Findings show the chief has spent massive amounts on himself and family while other members live in substandard housing etc. One locl band had a new water purification system costing many millions of dollars installed. One band member was trained to opperate this after the manufacturers left. Not long afterwards they were called back as the person did not follow proceedures and many of the band had to be transported to hospitals very sick. It appears that all we seem to do is have our prime minister say sorry for some preceived wrong white man has inflicted on the first nations. Some cases it was the way at that time and we cannot change history although this is what is expected for some.
