If you really want to know the truth go to some of the poorer
reservations to talk to the natives.  Even the natives living on top
of oil wells are poor due to creative accounting.  I've only talked to
a couple natives.

Couple years ago I also read a few messages in BC General, there's a
guy I think Frosty.  He's a real native if you want to know about
native conditions.
