Ya, dropping out and being homeless in my teens was actually a GOOD thing because it got me away from the other low-class high school kids that would have fucked me up even more if I considered them peers. I learned how to use a modem and made older friends who somewhat had their shit together and began emulating them instead.
Reserves are fucked, but chiefs do nothing to make them better. I used to be friends with an indian dude who came from a band outside of Lytton, he told me that the chief and his cronies kept all the money and did nothing for the community other than blame the government for doing nothing. The people, of course, believed the chief and the cycle continues...
