I never grew up on a reserve. I was born in Churchill, so I guess you'd say I lived in the white man's world. I do know, from some of the members in our society and talking to people out in the different indigenous communities, that there's a strong connection with their communities. From what I understand, some have been successful, while others...you know, alcoholism, abject poverty, and various addictions.
I think it's going to be very hard because I know that, in Alberta, there are communities all over the place and in very remote areas. I can't see how you're going to get something like the OSISS program to go to reserves because a lot of reserves don't want them. They don't want the government there.
