I heard a comment, that's our taxpayers money paying for these teams, OCN and Wayway. Its a common mentality, 'Indians get school for free', 'Indians get free money', Indians have a culture of entitlement mentality',
Every municipality and non aboriginal gets more 'taxpayers money' than every 'indian', x2, from provincial and federal government, Canada spends $25 per person average on non aboriginal canadian, vs. $15 on a first nation person. 'Indians in canada pay estimated 13 billion in taxes a year across canada, and get back 9-11 billion from federal government, while justice, province, health take huge cuts before a percentage reaches first nations communitues. There is a culture of entitlement, non first nations citizens and companies across canada think there are entitled to enjoy the riches of this country, without sharing revenues without first nations, and allow sub-par services in reserves to continue.
It was never the intention of treaties for fn people to live on small reserves accepting meager compensation.
Some cultural activities RROMA Gym would like to attend are.
- The Red Road Pow Wow is held in Minneapolis at the New Year. The 2010 Pow Wow had more than 1,500 Minneapolis residents in attendance, and
- The Gathering of the Sacred Pipe Sundance and Youth and Elders Conference will be held in Pipestone, Minnesota. Over 400 attend the Midewiwin Program, held in Bad River, Wisconsin.
