text: Getting rid of the indian act and every other bit of duplicated native only government service will help solve problems like this.   For one thing, the federal government has no expertise in education.  This is a provincial responsibility everywhere else and the provinces have the expertise here.  Native communities should fall under the provinces like everyone else, then everything is equal.
  
  Not to mention all the dollars and resources wasted by setting up all the administration and overhead to run all the separate, duplicate programs for 3 percent of the population.  There are no economies of scale.  All that wasted overhead could go back into front line services.
