Yet many chiefs and their cronies collect pay cheques that would make a CEO blush. BS like this is going to continue as long as the government is afraid of being called a mean name by a a bunch of crooks. Fiscal transparency and accountability has to be enforced to ensure kids aren't going hungry, while a handful live like potentates on their Bannock republics.

60% of Native First Nation Children on reserves may live in poverty but, I'm betting that at least 99% of their leadership lives in luxury.

Of course the only way to fix this problem is for the Liberals to throw more unaccountable taxpayer money at it because as we all know, when there's more money than any one person can possibly spend these self entitled potentates will always be the first to fairly dole out some of it to ensure their subjects can rise out of abject poverty.
