My treaty money in 1885 was $5. Give me a raise. it's 2018 now compared to 1885. Currency keeps rising whereas I still receive $5 until this day, and if the currency was growing along with the treaty money, every native american that signed treaty ( that will remain humble and behave) would have been rich by now and there would not be poverty. Who is responsible for withholding the moneys for the native americans would be Indigenous Affairs and Northern Canada that changed the name from Indian and Northern Affairs Canada. The only people that benefit are the workers that receive payments to work at Indigenous Affairs and Northern Development Canada employees including the chief and councillors and their families only....!!! #truth
