A History of the Indian Trust Fund
The Indian Trust Fund is an account that holds all the moneys collected, received, or held by the Crown for the “use and benefit” of First Nations. There is significant confusion, mythology and a lack of clarity around this fund. This video provides a short history and explanation of how the fund came to be.
This video was created as part of the Yellowhead Institute Cash Back Red Paper project. Picking up from Land Back, the first Red Paper by Yellowhead about the project of land reclamation, Cash Back looks at how the dispossession of Indigenous lands created a dependency on the state due to the loss of economic livelihood. Cash Back is about restitution from the perspective of stolen wealth.

Helpful to understanding CANADIAN issues. WE, are the cause of First Nations and Inuit present, past and future challenges. It is a CANADIAN issue, created by the country itself and the on going Religious Business Plan still rolling freely around, for FREE as per habit. Christianism in Turtle Island is A Business Plan and nothing more, based on FACTS and evidence.
Awesome video miigwetch !😀
