text: One of the few actual FN leaders in Canada who has a positive outlook that his people can be self reliant. He ad the Osoyoos Band have done remarkable things building business and jobs within their community I still would like to know if they have plans of severing all finical aid with the Feds and special tax status to truly become an independent Nation that doesn't rely on us taxpayers.
  No wonder most of the other FN leaders look down at him and try to browbeat him into their engrained belief they must always rely on the taxpayer..... he's talking sensible stuff that they don't want any part of.
