For context the Indians, the red Cree Indians, they're mostly cree in the west, they are taken care of very well by the federal government. A lot of them cry and act like they're hard done by but they have pretty amazing benefits. They can hunt and fish year round as much as they want, no licensing. They get yearly stipends, the oldest of which goes back to the 1800s and is 50 dollars lol. Their child benefits are insane. Some reserves get around 1500 a month per kid. As such it's turned into a generational dependency. You have 3 or 4 generations of people who know nothing but taking handouts.
A lot of reserves out in Alberta have oil. When they turn 18 they get cut a cheque by the oil companies. It varies. The most I have seen was like 150 grand or so.
Most of them go buy a truck and spend the rest on drugs. Damn shame.
