Trudeau kicking that funding down the road reminded me that I said I was gonna make an effort post on on-reserve housing. I was hoping I would have more time to turn this into more of a narrative but: The On-Reserve Housing Crisis Some quick stats (all can be directly sourced): • 617 Bands/Nations in Canada and 3,000+ Reserves • 50% of "Treaty Indians" live on-reserve • Median on-reserve income is $14,000. This is lower in the prairie provinces. • 4/5 Reserves have incomes below the poverty line • On-reserve adult employment rate is 47% • 28% of on-reserve housing is overcrowded • 43% of on-reserve homes are in need of major repairs (broken utilities, in need of structural repair, etc) • 15% of all homes need to be out-and-out replaced. • Due to the remote nature of most reserves (a feature not a bug of the original design), building costs are 30-50% higher on-rez. • Mould contaminates about ½ of on-rez housing • 93% of SK reserves have been under boil-water advisories in the past 11 years. • TB rates are 31X the national average. • On-rez graduation rate is ~50%. • Reserve schools are funded at ~$7,000/student (average off res is over $10,000) • Reserve teachers are paid 30%+ less than off-reserve teachers • Goods are often considerably more expensive “In 2003, a Winnipeg Harvest study found that while a 4-litre jug of milk cost $3.40 in Winnipeg, costs $12.09 in Wasagamack.” • ¼ of people on-reserve use water systems that pose a health risk quote:An individual cannot get a mortgage for on-reserve construction. Real property on reserves cannot be used as collateral for a mortgage. Could you afford to build a house without taking out a mortgage? On-reserve inhabitants might be able to own their house, but they do not own the land. Treaty Indians also are not allowed to sell their homes, as they are formally wards of the state. So, no chance to build equity. And the inhabitants of the homes aren’t even allowed to hire contractors to fix their homes (remember the $14,000 median income here, as well as the 30-50% hire construction costs) as it remains the responsibility of the Federal government. The majority of it is rental housing anyway. Which, again, doesn’t allow you to make major renovations. Even if an individual decided to take matters into their own hands, let me circle back and point out the extreme poverty and isolation these communities live in. You can’t just hop over to Rona for some supplies. I mean, gently caress, BC and Sask have cut bus routes to the North the past couple years. As if you’d be taking 2x4s with you on the bus anyway. The Government of Canada says there is a current shortage of 20,000-35,000 units just to meet current demand. The Assembly of First Nations puts that number at about 85,000. On-reserve funding is underfunded to the tune of $150-200 million every year. Compound interest + the fastest growing demographic in Canada. quote:One of them, Attawapiskat, about 500 kilometres north of Timmins, Ont., has resorted to housing people in uninsulated sheds, wood-frame tents heated by wood stoves and donated construction trailers, where some families have been living for two years already.       And while it might be easy to think the solution is to get rid of reserves… it isn’t. Treaty Rights are deeply entrenched legally. They’re about as likely to be changed as a Constitutional Accord working in Canada. Canada forced, through starvation, First Nations onto reserves ffffaaaaarrrr away from any traditional homeland. In Saskatchewan, the plan was to quite literally “clear the plains” in advance of the railway. You can’t fix forcible relocation through forcible relocation. So even if the Indian Act and Treaties are fundamentally flawed, and I think many Indig activists would agree with me that they are, and even if the Treaties were created with the intent to deceive as my previous post on the MacMartin Diaries highlights, they are the only legal protection Indigenous peoples have in Canada and are rightfully held onto because of that. “As long as the grass grows and the rivers flow” was how it was phrased in the Treaties. Any solution for the time being will have to be found within the confines of pre-existing law. There simply isn’t the relationship right now for a renegotiation. Why would there be? Not a single Federal government has ever followed through on promises in a meaningful way or responded to these issues in good faith. Anyway, I gotta go to Rona.

I’m just sat here thinking they really should’ve had photos like those plastered all over the front of our building. They created a lot of protest signs and literature but there were no pictures of what it was like at all, just their stories. Jesus, I hope they come back again, they really got nothing last time.

Isn't that a feature, rather than a bug, of the reserve system? Like, I know there are a few reserves that have moved away from that model, but I remember listening to a CBC feature where they said the resistance to doing so comes from the indigenous groups themselves. It blew me away when I heard it too though. Just seems like a way to keep people in poverty / under the thumb of the local government.

Well, in a sense it does, as they don't want to give up control of the land to outside ownership. However, that renders it useless to secure a loan.

Tempting though it is to do, 617 different nations do not operate as a single bloc or have consistent views. 3. Desperation leads to decisions that may not have been made in more ideal circumstances 4. Preserving cultural heritage is important, so no selling is important for that. 5. I wonder if you could even sell land to non-reserve members under Treaty (short answer: no) 6. The no equity thing wouldn’t be an issue if the Feds just loving built and maintained quality houses like it was a human right or something (and which they promised to do). It just serves to underscore how broken the current system is which whether it was by design or not (it was): Jordan7hm posted:

James Baud posted:Every treaty (re)negotiation is subject to everybody wanting it to be "the" new agreement for all time that fixes every problem and redresses every historical wrong, and also there's a lot of conservatism re: "we're getting screwed again, even if we don't see how". Nothing incremental allowed! I think you’re underestimating the level of mistrust and the messiness and huge consequences of doing anything related to this. Mulroney didn’t turf his government’s popularity over Meech Lake/Charlottetown for incrementalism.

Stickarts posted:The On-Reserve Housing Crisis This is a very good post. I was aware of most of it but seeing it all in one place puts it into perspective. Really highlights how the Indian Act is detrimental in a lot of ways but also the only protection most First Nations have. And congratulations on Ryan Meili. I've heard good things about him from people in Saskatoon.

If anyone wants some schadenfreude, Jordan Peterson is doing a talk in Toronto in May and the fb event page has a bunch of chuds complaining they can't afford the tickets. After the limited cheap presale, the only seats available are $200. I've said it before: the dude is a terrible human being but a highly skilled grifter.

Imagine being such a broken human being you'd pay $1000 to see that imbecile speak. I went down to Mexico last weekend for less than that, and I thought that was really quite a questionable use of funds as it was.

I honestly can't loving wait for the housing crash to put all these white uneducated trash out of work, who will vote in a populist tory PM who will further enact regressive policies and austerity, making their pathetic lives even worse. Then maybe I'll sell off all my US equities and buy back in just as the great race riots of brampton wrap up
