Some do, many don't.
I've worked hard my whole life, yet there has never been a time when I could even consider buying into an industry with those kind of costs.
So you are right that for that part at least, race is not the deciding factor.
Race does become a factor when there is little to no industry on reserve and little to no opportunity off reserve.
I'd like to think you are right that this issue would not exist if FN abided by conservation practices.
But I'm not at all sure they don't.
I only know unsubstantiated accusations have been made by vigilantes.
Of course we can point to a few who abuse their privileges, but then too that's not about race. We have poachers in our race as well.
