What is it like living on a reserve?
They get poor government support
Houses are small, messy and barely have beds sometimes.(poor living conditions)
Many reserves lack clean drinking water.
Reserves have a high alcoholism rate
Reserves have a high abuse rate
Reserves have a high suicide rate compared to other small towns of similar population
Lack of law enforcement, not enough to keep everything under control and they sometimes just give up. As seen in indigenous films and documentaries, they are very laid back and sometimes contribute to the issues.
People that live on reserves often resent the government and sometimes their parents/culture.
