Well, I guess this 'expert' at Ryerson needed something to do. A reason for the job at the school. Most Aboriginals aren't interested in AFN governance because they get no benefit anyway. They're AFN disenfranchised. The real answer is that the AFN doesn't represent most Aboriginals. This person we'd have to pigeon hole as a 'community,' 'territorial' AFN member, not necessarily by choice, but wanting to survive. Pretty risky speaking up, asking for better for all in the community only to be put down by 'it's all AFN' party 'governmental structures' that must interact with the horrible and mean federal government 'Indian' Act people.
Harper was right. We need to count every penny sent to the AFN. Don't complain when there are no programs, money gone and all the Aboriginals end up at the provinces' doorsteps again....
