the

reality of the situation is that aboriginal students graduating from

Grade 12 on a reserve are functionally illiterate



The same is true for a large percentage of grade-12 graduates from the

U.S. public school systems. Most U.S. public school systems are

controlled by teacher unions and run primarily for the financial

benefit of 1) teacher administrators, 2) teachers. The students are a

very distant 3rd.

That's what I was thinking when I was reading it too.
It doesn't take a tribal chief here to have kids come out
of school without being able to do basic reading, writing
and arithmetic.

As to the allegation that the police aren't doing enough
to find there missing people or solve homicide cases, that could
be true. But there are other factors that can come into play.
For example here in the USA, it's often much harder for
police to solve murders in black neighborhoods because
few people will talk to and cooperate with the police.
By the street code, you're a rat if you do that, plus
with gangs, etc, someone may kill you. If the victims
have a transient lifestyle, etc, that can make it much
harder to solve than a more typical case. So, while on the
surface, because some of these go unsolved, etc, people
may assume that the police aren't doing anything, you'd
have to look at the particular cases and do some comparison
to reach valid conclusions.
