| Native leaders who signed land claims "they've been had" "Auditor General Sheila Fraser, have also blasted Ottawa's narrow focus on its legal duties instead of broader self-sufficiency goals." HELLO!?!? |
| JULY 13, 2007 (TPM) Third Party Managers - Arbuthnot, MacNeil, Douglas, Dorey (EX INAC) "This community is in the worst financial position that we have ever seen for a community in the last 25 years. The existence of a corporate culture of living above the resources available, lack of financial controls & oversight, criminal activities, non-compliance to funding agreement terms and conditions without recourse, poor business planning & management, no long-term community plan, no long-term financial plan and unmanageable debt financing regimes has effectively placed this community in a position of being unable to deliver essential programs and services due to its limited financial ability and resources." 3) the community is demanding nothing short of full accountability & retribution for those who have placed the community in the current situation MORE... |
| In 1999 the National Post reported “Auditor General Denis Desautels warned that the Indian Affairs department risked compounding existing poverty and despair on native reserves by failing to account for how money is being spent”. In 2003 alone there were over 300 allegations of corruption, nepotism or mismanagement by band councils. |

| MAR 2010 Tobique beats DTES Vancouver along with 6 other NB RESERVATIONS as one of the nations "POOREST COMMUNITIES in the COUNTRY". The study was taken in 2006, we have since discovered our Increasing $45,000,000 DEBT with a CASINO. $60 Million since 2002 Thus making us the "POOREST COMMUNITY in the COUNTRY" ! After attempting to contact numerous provincial, federal and First Nations sources over the course of a week, the Canadian University Press found that almost no one was willing to address what numbers show to be SEVERE POVERTY Apparently, the issues of poverty & income for First Nations in N.B. are somebody elses problem! Someone Else's Problem? Your All Fired, we will hire 1 monkey! |

| THE UGLY PRICE OF POWER?! |
| "Indian Act Band executive and employees are financially dependent of the governments for their salaries and the many other perks associated with poorly governed bureaucracies while given the public appearance that they are challenging the government for more monies on behalf of their community members." YOODAH! |
| The band council system works as an arm of the federal government, which FUNDS it. Its mandate is to implement the policies of the federal government at the local reserve community level. This is why we oppose the AFN: it’s working in the interests of the government and big business.YOOD! |
| Imagine you wanted to be prime minister, but rather than run for the leadership of your party and then face a general election, you only needed the support of every MAYOR in Canada. Most First Nations community members will be sitting on the sidelines as their 600 chiefs do the voting. HERE! |
| The Dead, Dying Poor & unemployed community members wanna know ... Why did you recieve cheques from this alleged illegal casino for the poor ? T J Burke? "There is nothing that makes me prouder than being able to stand up for people who have been wronged. I consider it a social responsibility." T.J.Burke We have been wronged! The Liberals say the government is ignoring alleged illegal gambling at a casino in Tobique First Nation. More info... Liberal Aboriginal Affairs critic T.J. Burke says it's obvious that the Tobique First Nation is operating a casino in defiance of provincial law." |
| Many of the same people again! HERE! |

| Any steps by any government that are not in the direction of recognizing true self government & self - determination in the international sense for Indigenous peoples are false steps which move away from compliance with commonly accepted international standards. |
Canada backs corrupt governments for land!
| The modus operandi of the legal establishment and its collaborating Indian accomplices is the suppression of the constitutional and international law that the establishment intentionally is breaking. |
| 7 N.B. reservations among Canada's poorest HERE! |
| Canada’s Media Monopoly One perspective is enough??? HERE! “We cannot have a healthy democracy when almost all the print media in the province is owned by the same company that dominates the provincial economy” HERE! |

| $$$ 60 MILLION from 02 - 07 & $45 MILLION in net debt with a CASINO!!! |
| The wolves guarding the chickens!!! “a conspiracy of silence speaks louder than words.” Published reports include thousands of $$$ in overseas trips by Indian Affairs bureaucrats to places like Russia, Belgium and Great Britain in a list of $125 million worth of extravagant expenses by federal civil servants. HERE! INAC left out the names of the chiefs and councillors corresponding to their income, as well as the communities in which they live. HERE! Taking Chief Fontaine at his own word, let’s indeed look at the facts. HERE! Telegraph-Journal writer barred from Tobique reserve HERE! Given that the average reserve population is 1,100 people and poverty levels on reserve often are extremely high, this clearly reflects a rather excessive level of remuneration for band chiefs. HERE! |
| Tobique Last Nation has an ever-increasing, $45-million debt and unemployment on the reserve is as high as 80 per cent. |
| Although the word "chief" in english has become widely associated with indigenous peoples, The word is actually much older than the Europeans arrival in North America. It is derived from the Latin word "kaput," which meant "head." Like most English words derived from Latin, "chief" came to us by way of French, which explains why it is so similar to "chef," which is short for "chef de cuisine," meaning "head of the kitchen." |
| Wed, Oct 13, 2004 - chief Stewart C Paul - The Victoria Star "My motivation to run for political leadership of our First Nation many years ago was based on a commitment to move our community forward from chronic and demeaning dependency to self sufficiency." (GOOD EFFIN JOB!!!) |
