The real reasons Native Reserves can’t get clean drinking water in CANADA
Unless one is familiar with the First Nations governance system, and “RESERVES” , it ends up an emotional dysfunctional issue.
With few exceptions ( See OSOYOOS BAND success ) they have a Chief and possibly a Band Council as well.
Their Reserves’ ” land ” are held in trust by the Federal Gov’t…. aka it can NOT be sold.
No band member can own land…the Reserve is shared as a collective. They get homes provided , but do not own them.
The Chief (and Council ) rule over the entire Band with an iron fist. They are THE Law….. case closed.
Cory Morgan video ( below ) is one of many he’s done re: the Reserves.
We see in the news constant stories about primitive Reservations with LACK of clean drinking water.
QUESTION: Who is to blame ?
ANSWER = NOT US !
Either the money is embezzled ….or the facilities are built and poorly maintained
In another Cory Morgan video ( forthcoming ) he says that Housing is provided..then later some are arsoned by the Band members as a means of getting a new (clean) house.
The Gov’t continually cuts ( blank ) cheques to the Band = The Chief .
Steven Harper had introduced a Law that proper and transparent accounting of the Band was required (which Trudeau later killed).
It is quite clear the Federal money is effectively mismanaged if not outright stolen.
Personally, I don’t/can’t feel sorry for the given Band.
My sympathies go to the hard -working taxpayer whose $$$ MILLION in Tax $$$ go to these Band’s ad- nauseum.
These Bands governance models are perfect examples of the ” COMMUNIST MODEL”.
“You’ll Own Nothing and be Happy”.
Property is not owned…it’s part of the great collective.
Democracy doesn’t exist..the rules and law are either from their cultures or simply at whims of the Chief.
The Chiefs’ (control) role to Band Members = much the same as Rabbi’s to Jews.
Final Comments:
Are we NON First Nations about to come under the same governance model……moreso as our Gov’ts are continually surrendering OUR lands to First Nations and thus we are becoming increasingly beholden to a given ” Chief “?
Reducto ad Absurdum.
……there are approx 200 First Nations Bands in BC...hence will these 200 Chiefs ultimately become THE rulers over ALL BC collectively ?
