I can go through this, if you like:
Poverty is in fact the reality which attaches to most Aboriginal women, as their average income in 2000 amounted to just $16,519; their median income was $12,311. These figures are the lowest of all Canadians' income; Aboriginal men‘s average income was $21,958, and that of Canadian women and men was respectively $22,885 and $36,865.
So it was in 2000, in fact; it may have been a regional reality she was looking at, but in 2000 that certainly wasn't the case across Canada.
