I've done a lot of work with northern Native people on land claims and general
economic conditions, and while there was the odd instance of corruption, the
people I worked with were honest and very concerned about putting things right
and with the welfare of their people.

Yes, things are very bad on some (a lot of) reserves. I've worked in those
environments and the ways out are complex (rather more than the simplicities of
the Fox News's of the world choose to understand. Certainly becoming "Idle No
More" i.e. not being passive in front of infantilizing/dependency producing
interactions/legislation from INAC and their (often well) paid emissaries is
cerainly a big step forward.
Blanket descriptions of chiefs etc. as corrupt or whatever is really quite
unhelpful (and at its base racist). Some are, many aren't. rather like bizness
people in a lot of coutnries where normal rules of conduct/legal systems have
collapsed or been allowed to erode for someone's or other 's self interest
(INAC=WB???.
