The Gov't of Canada seems to encourage the band chiefs + council
members
to look after themselves just like Canadian gov't officials look after
themselves.

[The situation in Kahnawake (Mohawk reserve straddling New York State
+ Quebec)
was a little bit more involved, but pretty much the same thing.]

The Égalité Party of Canada is proposing a 3-part SOLUTION
to 1st Nation communities.

Part A: General Response
====================
THE SOLUTION *EVERYWHERE* IS THE SAME: "everyone" needs to know *WHO*
are the persons making the financial decisions + *WHO* who are the
persons (or entities)
benefiting from them. (It is important to look into the possibility of
bribes + kick-backs from
those receiving contracts from the Bands.)

Thee community needs to first look at HOW MUCH $$$ the Band Council
starts with.
Then, it needs to look at HOW + WHY it is being spent.

"EVERYBODY" in the community NEEDS TO KNOW THIS.

THE KEY is have outside "at arms length" ACCOUNTANTS - 3rd party
accountants - who
are  "100% independent" and not beholding to the Band Council ASSESS
THE BOOKS + COMMENT on the recording keeping that has been done to
date.

Ironically, THIS SITUATION seems to have been "INTENTIONALLY" CREATED
BY OTTAWA
in order to *DISCREDIT* the 1st Nations demand for SELF-GOVERNMENT
(autonomy in their own affairs)so that Ottawa can make the claim that
Band Councils are so "inept" + "financially incompetent" that the
notion of self-government "in reality" is ludicrous.

What the Gov't has done is put in place a VERY SMART, sophisticated
passive GENOCIDE POLICY that ensures 10% of 1st Nation Peoples
(especially the educated professionals) get decent paying jobs so that
*THE SYSTEM* WORKS FOR THEM while humiliating the remaining 90%, most
of whom live on *RESERVES* or in institutions like JAILS + SHELTERS.

Those living on the reserves live in degrading conditions like caged
animals in a zoo thanks to the Department of Indian and Northern
Affairs who keeps them on a *VERY SHORT* LEASH.

Not only is the Department of Indian and Northern Affairs 100%
responsible for their living conditions, it AUTORIZATION is REQUIRED
(mandatory) FOR EVERYTHING (even when it comes to adding something
like a window).

The Department of Indian and Northern Affairs - more often than not -
will oblige A WHOLE COMMUNITY to have ONLY ONE COMMUNAL TAP and will
place the OUT-TAKE (sewage)
PIPE close (not that far from) to the IN-TAKE (drinking water) PIPE
obliging the community to boil its water.

THE SITUATION *STINKS*: ONLY THE GOVERNMENT OF CANADA IS TO BLAME.
Canadians should be ashamed to continue to allow this to happen.

At Nassau Lake (30 miles west of Hearst, Northern Ontario -smack in
the middle of the Trans-Canada Highway), a lumber camp, where
President/Party Leader of the Égalité Party of Canada spent his first
14 years starting in 1953, each of the 66 families had their own tap
and indoor plumbing.

Part B: Specific Response
===================
THE PROBLEM IS *MISAPPROPRIATION *OF FUNDS.

The threat of having "fraud charges" laid against band council members
should make them realize that they are ACTING not only ILLEGALLY, but
are INSTRUMENTS OF THEIR OWN GENOCIDE by acting "behind everyone's
back" (behind close doors - in secret just like the Government of
Canada)  and EFFECTIVELY KILLING THE COMMUNITY'S CHANCES OF
LONG-TERM survival.

Technically, THE WHOLE COMMUNITY should have THE FINAL SAY in ALL Band
Council DECSIONS for two basic reasons: one, in order to ensure GOOD
DECISIONS are made and
two, in order to ensure that THE FUTURE OF THEIR COMMUNITY IS *NOT*
JEOPARDIZED.

Within one generation (perhaps two) this *well-thought-out* VERY NASTY
Government POLICY OF *PASSIVE* GENOCIDE will probably be a RESOUNDING
SUCCESS.

Unfortunately, band council members are NOT educated NOR smart enough
to understand
HOW THEIR ILLEGAL ACTIOINS are NEGATIVELY IMPACTING the future
viability of their community.

Each band member needs to be taken aside by the community and have
this pointed out to him or her in order to turn things around.



Part 3: Get the BIG GUNS
===================
Get the religious authorities involved too - only if all else fails.



First Nation Culture: only in the Museum
=============================
When seeing little to no Haida (1st Nation who specialize in totem
poles) art in Vancouver
after having been there in 1971 the President/Party Leader of the
Égalité Party of Canada was DEEPLY SADDENED to be told that he'd have
to go to the Antropological Museum of the University of British
Columbia.

He also learned while in Vancouver that 1st Nation languages are on
the verge of extinction.

Whose to blame for ALL THIS?

The *STINKING* Government of Canada.

Don't vote.

Better yet: join and or support the Égalité Party of Canada.

Incidentally, the Égalité Party of Canada wants THE PROVINCIAL
CAPITALS to be places
where 1st Nation art is showcased for the whole world to see and is
committed to putting
1st Nation culture FRONT AND CENTRE on the Canadian scene followed by
that of the Métis.
