      Literally given a near endless supply of money and completely unable to solve any crisis, disaster or situation they’re presented with

      Ex;
      I did firefighting in Alberta for wildfires. We regularly got called to every Reserve for basic house fires and dumpster fires. Eventually the Chiefs/Band argued they should be able to have their own fire services. The Rez’s eventually got a grant with the government to build local fire stations with equipment and training for their own people. Millions went into these stations, equipment and upkeep.

      We still get called for fires on the Rez because none of the „paid“ volunteers show up. They never dispatch a single truck, no one answers any calls for service and the equipment is already going missing. Yet somehow the volunteers at these stations bill hundreds of hours a month for „calls to service“ that they never even attend.

      There’s just so much corruption and failure in leadership. News agencies never report anything that goes on with the Rez’s.

      Hmmm…

      Isn’t smudging with white sage supposed to clear negative energy and purify spaces?

      I also have a mental breakdown seeing how much a new truck cost nowadays!

      Has anybody asked why? If you don’t like living in the middle of nowhere and having no job, there is no amount of social services that will help you. Maybe they can temporarily prevent you from killing yourself, but they can’t make you happy.

      One thing that Canada should be making a much bigger push for is getting more First Nations people educated and trained in healthcare fields: doctors, nurses, therapists, counsellors, social workers, etc.

      Nobody understands what people on these remote reservations are going through more than their own people, and thus they should be the best for helping make an actual difference. And you’d think would help a lot more than bringing a bunch of healthcare practitioners who’ve probably never been north of Selkirk into their rez only to leave within a few weeks/months.

      It’s one thing I have never understood about our healthcare system. Never once have I met any one of First Nation background working a role in healthcare. I can completely understand that there’s a perception of racism/distrust within the medical field for Indigenous people here in Canada, but you would think that getting them more involved would be wholly beneficial to repairing that relationship and helping build stronger and healthier First Nation communities.

      What does declaring this emergency really do? Is it like when Michael Scott yelled that he declares bankruptcy?

      Somehow the 200bn we gave First Nation since 2015 wasn’t enough. Maybe the chiefs are the problem.

      I lived in Manitoba as a kid. Saw people sniffing gasoline in the elevator

      Has any one read The Absolutely True Diary of a Part-time Indian by Sherman Alexie? It’s about a Native American boy living in a reservation in US. It’s very bleak and sad. The kid wants off the reservation so goes to mainstream school. He wants more in life than what the reservation has to offer. He receives on going backlash from the reserve for wanting a better life.

      >Other social issues are also plaguing the community, including a soaring use of drugs since the community was evacuated by wildfires last summer. People sent to the city were introduced to hard drugs and are now struggling with addictions, Levasseur said.

      I was born at night, but not last night. The CBC’s own previous reporting indicates that the drug problem was already present in Nisichawayasihk prior to last summer’s wildfires:

      [https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/nisichawayasihk-cree-nation-state-of-emergency-1.7387555](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/nisichawayasihk-cree-nation-state-of-emergency-1.7387555)

      The Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation’s website already indicated that this was a problem as of 2024:

      [https://www.ncncree.com/dangerous-drug-in-the-community/](https://www.ncncree.com/dangerous-drug-in-the-community/)

      CTV’s reporting from 2023 indicates that illegal drugs were already a significant problem in Nisichawayasihk:

      [https://www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/article/manitoba-first-nation-declares-state-of-emergency-over-violence-illegal-activity/](https://www.ctvnews.ca/winnipeg/article/manitoba-first-nation-declares-state-of-emergency-over-violence-illegal-activity/)

      More CBC reporting, from 2023:

      [https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/nisichawayasihk-little-grand-rapids-bootlegging-prohibition-1.6814218](https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/manitoba/nisichawayasihk-little-grand-rapids-bootlegging-prohibition-1.6814218)

      The list goes on. It’s also on the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation’s social media accounts as well. The attempts to shift the blame to the very outsiders in the cities that took members of the Nisichawayasihk Cree Nation in during last summer’s wildfires is disgusting.

      I wish Saskatchewan would get their head out of Moe’s butt and stop turning a blind eye and follow suit because we are not doing any better.

      Yikes this looks like a post full of racism and ignorance about intergenerational trauma. r/canada has really sunk into the depths of obsolescence eh?
