Let's Talk Taxes Native reserve expansion in Manitoba debate
The Indian Act and reserves have long segregated native Canadians from the economy. On August 5, 2005 Canada created 10 new reserves in Manitoba under the Treaty Land Entitlement framework, affecting Buffalo Point God’s Lake Rolling River and Wuskwi Sipihk. Critics warn reserves trap communities and deny private ownership and true integration into the economy. Indian Affairs Minister Andy Scott defends the move as boosting potential for community development and living standards.
