-Caveat Lector- Canada to Give $4.3B to Indigenous Groups  By Beth Duff-Brown  AP Writer 11/26/05 - Kelowna, British Columbia (AP) - Canada on Friday pledged $4.3 billion in a landmark deal with Indian and northern Inuit communities to help lift them from the poverty and disease that has plagued their neglected reserves for more than a century....Earlier in the week, the Canadian government proposed another $1.7 billion in payments for aboriginal victims of sexual and psychological abuse during forced Christian schooling. Some 100,000 children were required to attend residential schools over the past century in a futile and painful attempt to rid them of their native cultures and languages and integrate them into Canadian society. The legacy of sexual abuse and isolation among these children has long been cited by Indian leaders as the root cause of epidemic rates of alcoholism and drug addiction on reserves." http://www.wtopnews.com/index.php?nid=380&sid=631001
