Transparancy is for White people only

[Wilber]

I don't know why anyone would have a problem with individuals being held accountable for the way they handle other people's money. Yet some do.

With due respect your point relies on the two wrongs make a right fallacy.

The First Nations have been faced with internal corruption for many years. Trying to justify it by saying all politicians are corrupt doesn't address the issue.

If you are suggesting that all politicians are corrupt not just First Nations ones, yes.

Now the issue is how do we clean it all up. Many First Nation people want transparency, probably the majority because the money is not making it to the grass roots and everyone is afraid to say so for fear of being called anti native.

There are First Nation Chiefs democratically elected and who do an excellent job. There are others who are appointed by cliques and are nothing more than organized criminals exploiting their own people and keeping them down and out.

First Nations should be given help to open their books and ruling systems. This is not a matter of hating natives, ridiculing them-its a matter of assuring he money I s spent on the people at the grass roots. Change is coming. Within native communities the debate is spreading about how they do business not just with non natives but with themselves. Ultimately it will be the native peoples who must initiate and implement these reforms. Its an apolitical issue. It should not be turned into one that is justification to resent natives being self represented through their own governments. That is part of our constitution. The nation of nations is a set of governments within Canada that operates parallel and with the federal government. It needs reform a badly as any government does when it comes to lack of transparency, corruption, inefficiency. 

You are assuming there is something wrong or illegal with the Chief making that when actually it's just business as usual.
