Have a look at the Auditor General's assessments of Indian Affairs financial management. The  majority of the money earmarked for First Nations programs never makes it to the intended recipients - the Bands. The extent of government's misspending, waste and sheer incompetence in the Department is staggering. 

Furthermore, this article is all about the fact that government has been short-changing First Nations children by spending far less on them than on other Canadians. But as usual, the blame for poor outcomes is put on the Bands, not on federal government (where it belongs).
