I live in BC.  Over 95%+ of the province is crown lands.  First nations almost to a village have access to it from their boundaries.  The receive preferential funding if they want to log it, fish it, mine it, or just enjoy a clear cold night by the fire.

That is not to say I am not aware of people on reserves having great trouble.  Caucasion, Asian, African and First Nations people have the scourge of alcoholism and drug addiction that is so devastating.

But there are some places that are extraordinary.  The natives at West-bank, BC.  Have extraordinary wealth.
I think rather than white people telling 1st Nations people what to do, 1st Nations should mentor and establish their brethren.  Possible only if: they lay down deeply entrenched prejudice between the tribes.
