Are you able to get First Nations status now?Quote from: "Shen Li"
Wish I could! Tax Free status, the ability to live and work ANYWHERE in North America, the ability to receive free funding for education until the day I die...
The list could go on and on!
However, I can guarantee no Indian in this DNA...
For the last time, not all bands guarantee funding for education.
I didn't know that Berry.
Ive heard different stories. Some Natives dont live on the reserve but have asked their band for funds in education. ...the band either wont give it to them or will give it them only if they actually live on the rez while attending school....which is really stupid because most rez are remote and smack in the middle of nowhere....so say someone from a band up north wants to go to UBC...its literally impossible.
Natives living on the rez get money from their band to live (which is peanuts) but if they leave and live off the rez, the band wont help them...leaving many no option but to be stuck on the rez. Ive heard so many sad stories. There are a few I known that just upped and left and paid their own way, it was a struggle but they wanted away from that life.
It generally just depends from band to band...majority are just crap but there a few that actually do help their people.
