You would be stunned at the amount of money that has been forked over to our natives. Plus they are untouchable when it comes to breaking the laws.
I spent some serious time in northern Canada working on a mining survey ... part of the time I was in an Inuit village. IIRC, the locals were getting welfare from the Canadian government, welfare from the Provincial government, and royalties from the mining company. The village was squalid; drunkenness, drug addiction, sexual abuse, and VD were rampant. It’s the only place I’ve seen dishes of “free” condoms in just about every public place, and a supply of the (again, “free”) in my “hotel” room.
We Minnesotans are being forced to rename lakes, etc. as Aboriginal grunts (e.g. Lake Calhoun to something pronounced 'bidet', Bde Maka Ska).
We are the descendants of the people that conquered a continent?
