Thanks for the updates. The funding is not truly "per person," because it is not going to the band members sufficiently. In a way, it is too easy to only blame the government of Canada (as is the main narrative) and the debate about how much money is optimal will not get us anywhere. It's no help now to the poor people there. True reform has to look everywhere, including Harper and the PMs before him, now, to the NDP member of that riding for the past 7 years, to all of us, and to the native leaders. (By the way, band members will tell you this last point as much as middle class white guys will). I've also read there are 19 councillors for 2000 people. Perhaps too there should not have been a new hockey rink built with the funding when there are other priorities. Also I don't know the details but the reserve gets a fair amount of money from user fees.
