Yes it does but they do get compensated for it and also take a look at any land deed and it will say that it excludes any minerals that maybe under your land. Which means you dont own anything that is under the surface.

As a proud native, what do you see as the solution?

I find that the whiners never have solutions. All their energy goes in to complaining.
What would be great is when the silence stops, the solutions start.
This applies to all whining in general and does not apply to First Nations exclusively.

Time to get rid of the reservations, kibosh the greedy chiefs (you know the ones that cry racism when the gov't wants to see the books on where the billions of dollars are going). You can't expect people (any race) to be upstanding citizens of society living on handouts and favours. Are all natives like this? No, of course not. I've met and worked with some great native guys and gals, real hard workers earning an honest living and I'm sure theres lots more of them out there like mxzretta. But it seems to be a pretty common theme throughout the native community to take the government money and spend it lavishly, meanwhile laughing at the non-native population about it.
I'll probably be flamed and called a racist for this post but oh well, I'm just calling it like I see it.

I live in a heavily native populated area. I see many un-employed natives on the streets. I have had an ad in the news papers and also the un-employment office here in town now for 18 months looking for workers. I have had not one single inquiry from a native. It's an awesome job I'm offering. Good pay, bennifits, 15 n 6 schedule. I'm not racist but these people just don't want to work here. I'm short handed is Fawk and it pisses me off. Good thing the farm boys like to work. Buy back their treaty cards for a million bucks a piece. Equal the playing field. Pay taxes and go buy work boots????

Then why should the Indians get any compensation for anything under the surface ? You just defined the meaning of hypocrite.

Unfortunately I'm on both sides of the fence here only because I have Treaty Status... but I am also a hard-working, tax paying (with some exceptions), Albertan, so.. no comment...

First Nation blockade of CN track in Sarnia, Ont., into 4th day - News - MSN CA
I say us sledders buy a bunch of beer and camp out on the CP tracks in Revy to protest the land closures to winter rec.
How long would we be there before the RC's opened the door to their cruisers with our heads?
Hmm, seems somethings are more equal than others.

I am also Canadian but alot of people will say they are French,Ukranian,German that live here before they say that they are Canadian. And for another thing on the back of my Treaty card it says i am an indian as defined in the indian act it says nothing about me being Canadian. Hell we couldnt even vote till 1967.
