Canada and Me

So...We are trying to start youth programming here at home and I find myself exhausted from fundraising...and I was thinkn why would a country of decades invested into genocide give a flyn f*&#k if our Ogwehonwe are empowered or not. All of our programs on this rez are gov't funded, and the very few that aren't are still answering to some sort of arm of Canada. Canada makes money, literally prints the stuff and they are in debt. Hmmm, sounds like the typical person who has money who tells people that they don't have money so that they will always have money. So...the older I get the smarter I should be working, not harder, but guess what? I am working harder because I am trying to get our youth to understand that money was never who we were, are, or will ever be as Haudenosaunnee. Am I wrong? Does everything that I see as a truth have to be proven wrong in my face? I see young people that don't have a job that don't even care to have a job. I see welfare recipients pickn up thier cheques every month happy that they will have a place to live for another month, and I know that out of 1200 per say on this rez, only about 420 are actual welfare recipients, I see an education funding system set in place that no one cares just quite enough to fight for our treaties and I see a system here that I can not pin point where it gets messed exactly but I know one thing. I know that money has corrupted the good minds, that the nuclear family is what's important. and that everything that we are is a joke. Then I look at me...and i see how I raise my sons and I see my effort of morale and tie that with a belief foundation and a down to earth personality, I see my relationship with a man that tells the world that I am his greatest teacher and I see the impact on the youth I have had, and I feel my exhaustion. Where are my answers? If there are not enough people to give a shit then tell me, is it stupid to brighten the light within our youth about who WE are? I don't need words of support right now, I need an outlet to be heard...
Money, money, money, must be the only true key to happiness...LIKE F$%&k!!!
Stay tuned for excitement about what's next.
