For sure. Not trying to sugar coat it, but when you compare how Canadian aborigionals are/were treated to the way they're treated in America it's night and day. If you have even 25% native blood in Candad, you get to go to a University of your choosing all paid for by the feds. Aborigionals pay no PST or GST in Canada either.
I've lived in both countries roughly half my life, and have native friends in both countries. Canada's treaty is much more generous than Americas.
Hm...theres abit of a hitch to that education thing depending on college/course study and your Band Council agreements, you must maintain a 3.5-4.0 GPA and have an attendance of 90% for the full school year, if you fail either of those requirements you must pay for your tuition in full
which not saying that isnt a good deal, but if you have children it can be a bit rough
there no PST or GST is a bit of a hitch too because Canada has made it so alot of natives cannot receive that, especially if youre a woman who married a white man , you loose all rights to your native "benefits" and so do your children
For my first two years of last study I did Social Worker Native Specialization, I was like the only white girl in class but I learned ALOT from the girls in my class who were pretty much fully 100% native, as well as from my courses we had very specific courses on native laws like this ..
i was really shocked to find out what i did
Native people also get free brith control pills here, which regular citizens dont. and im sure they get treated better in canada than in USA, maybe i can rally to make a change on that or something educate people on the issues of intergenerational trauma and how it is
You stand for a lot of good things Sunni.... which is why I am SHOCKED to hear what you married in to!!!
ya me too./but hes actually really open minded, hes got no problem with races, or lgbtq community, hes never rude to people all around just a really nice guy
hes not into politics much, he says most of the guys in his work field actually arent very politically involved because than its like talking about work outside of work i think he may groan sometimes when i speak politics lol
