Bravo Jeeto9 ... spoken like a true Canadian who is sick and tired of hearing about self-centered aboriginal claims to the country we all call home.  Who do they think pays into the Federal and Provincial Tax system which generously hands them what has now become the largest Federal Transfer Funding payment in the history of Canada. To make matters worse, the Federal and Provincial governments are not allowed to audit the books of these bands after we hand them billions of our hard earned money... where is the justice?  Who is fighting for the rights of the taxpayers when our money is being handed over with no accountability on the part of the gov't or those band chiefs who continue to beg for more.  "Stewards of mother earth"... you have got to be kidding.  Take away the fat transfer payments, and integrate your bands into our Canadian society ... that will earn respect from all Canadians.
