You will notice that I said Northern Saskatchewan has SOME of the best fishing... and whether you prefer Manitoba to Saskatchewan really depends on what kind of fish you want to catch.
The poverty isn't limited to the northern reserves, and in many cases the reserves are the places that are thriving and it's the other communities that are littered with crime and unemployment. This is the case where my sister works up north as a paramedic. There are two rather large reserves up there that are doing well and wonderful communities... but the town, is full of people who feel that their lives revolve around entitlement. I am not sure which agreement you are referring to specifically... but if it is the package for the residential schools disaster, it seems to be fairly well received. It's hard to make an apology with money, but it's all that can be done at this point. > Northern Manitoba has better fishing than Northern Saskatchewan. :P > > The poverty in quite a few of the northern reservations is horrid.
