Should Canadian aboriginals receive more government funds?

Get rid of the Indian Act. Everyone born in Canada should be a Canadian Citizen.

No, Most of the europians who conquered land killed/raped and kept people as slaves but the British atleast gave them land and is now paying them and giving them great benefits.

Phase out and education at the same time. They need to be presented with choice and future.

no, they should be treated as equals

repeal and replace the indian act

As a way to reconcile the past injustices and the ones that still continue that Aboriginal people in Canada face is by government funding. Many more actions should be in place, however financial support is a way to start. Many reservations do not even have clean water. This is disgraceful and sad for this country.

Yes, and we should offer forms of assistance

Give first nations more authority over their lands including adopt normal citizenship and get rid of 'reservations'.

should be equal

Yes, in addition to monetary funds aboriginals should be offered assistance in the form of education, training, and social programs

No, it all happened many years before I was born why are we still paying for the actions of the founding people of canada. I wasn’t involved why should my tax dollars pay them.

Europeans did a lot worse to many different cultures aboriginals were just the only ones who were able to complain about it and prove it happened

No, instead we should focus on improving infrastructure and economic opportunities in those communities to allow for greater opportunities for healthy, plentiful lives

Begin programs for assistance in education, training, and social programs, then begin fading out funding

I am unsure about how much money is allocated for aboriginals, but we should offer education, training, and more social programs.

Aboriginals can continue to receive the current funding, or increase it, but those who qualify for it should be audited on what they use it for to ensure bad generational habits are not passed on.

Both monetary funds and we should instead offer assistance in the form of education, training, and social programs

There should be a referendum with indigenous groups to decide if they’d like to be independent nations without support or full fledged equal citizens and a plan to change bands into democratic ethnically mixed municipalities.property ownership would need to be ironed out and municipalities can and would tax land owners. And businesses in these municipalities would pay tax and so would citizens when they buy products or earn an income.

No, they shouldn't receive more funds or have special status. They should be integrated into Canadian society. Resources such as education, training and social programs are more effective than just handing out money.

Regardless, we should be honouring the modern treaties and the original treaties should be modernized, we should be finalizing reconciliation and allow aboriginals to be their own peoples with their own systems.

Canadian aboriginals need to receive more funding and support, they should be given their back and the treaties put in place need to actually be followed. They should be considered citizens of our society and should have access to everything people off of the reserves have like education and clean water. Along with monetary funding, the government needs to offer assistance in forms of education, healthcare, social programs, real job and career opportunities, training, etc.

I believe that they should get funds in order to get proper housing, schooling, clean water, and rehabilitation services since the substance abuse rates are extremely high in their communities. They should not be able to use that money for casino's, gambling, etc.

No, they should receive exactly the same as any other Canadian. They should receive assistance in any way that they have a lack and a need, equal to that of any other canadian. They should also be required to be citizens.

This question is wrong. The question shouldn't say "Canadian aboriginals" as that is literally calling indigenous people 'NOT normal." The question should say Indigenous, or first nations.

Yes, Indigenous people should be further compensated for their hardships and use of resources; As well as offer assistance in the form of education, training, and social programs

Yes, but it should be made sure that they are getting what the pay for. Some communities are on a boil advisory because the water treatment centre on the reserve is not up to code and when complaints are made, the government takes ages to respond. The same goes for housing, some repairs are not done up to standards for the fact that the people are indigenous. Also extra education and social programs for more remote communities would also be of help.

Yes, we should give them most of their land back and then leave them alone to form their own government.

It depends on how finically stable they are now, and if they're not doing the best, their income could be increased.

I believe that my generation and I dont have the resposibility of making up for what our ancestors did over 100 years ago. I think that everyone should have equal rights and equal freedoms.

Yes and no they should be given back how they know life but not take more advantage off this opportunity.

The Aboriginal Band councils need to be a part of Parliment and the Senate. Then thier voices can be heard, and needs adressed.

no cause all lives are precious. instead use that money to take care of the child and the goverment should provide funds for the upkeep of the child.

Give them clean water security and clean up their bad water or relocate them to an area of their choosing

The Indian act should be removed and indigenous peoples fully seen as apart of the Canadian society.

I feel that rather than spendning so much tax payers money, the government and indeigenous people should come to an agreement, instead of treating them like theyre different, include them. The government should still pay them just not so it hurts other people finacially.

Yes, however it should be so that they can survive with all the things they NEED. clean water, safe places, stuff like that. they can be independent but they should still have access to clean resources.

it should remain the same but also we should offer assistance in the form of education, training and social programs

No, but funds should be allocated towards building federal, provincial, and municipal governance structures and systems that continue to support decolonization and self-governance

Yes. We've seen a lot of success with moving towards more options for indigenous governments and removing a lot of the Indian Act away from it. We can continue to do this through UNDRIP, TRC/MMIWG and RCAPs recommendations.

Our First Nations people need to be consulted on what they need, what works for them, and how to best help them do that.

they should receive some compensation for all the unceded territory and we should help fund revserves and check in on them to make sure that it is working properly and we should remove laws that restrict traditional indeginous practices (I am Inuk)

I think the amount that they get is fine but the way in which they allocate the money they get should be reviewed so it can be better allocated

Allocated funds should be given in terms of reoperations and support based on regulations in their life, ie. Insurance.

I am chinese, I believe they don't deserve a penny and should live as a average human by making their own money.

Yes, but allocate funds solely for education, training and social programs that focus on building self-determination and autonomy for Indigenous populations. Additionally, independently audit the finances and spending habits of leaders within those communities (i.e., Chiefs, Council)

They should still be funded for the compensation of considering government took their land. but they don't need more in a sense if they're already getting more. idk...

Yes, they deserve more funds in the way of ensuring clean drinking water, reducing suicide among youth, funding per-student in residential schools etc…

Yes, indigenous peoples should have a clean body of water which will be untouched to surrounding communities to maintain their traditional practices as well.

I am fine with the funds they are receiving as of right now.
