I think the bands just want a ransom, I wonder how much?
IMO, residential schools were an act of assimilation. However, with that said, I'm sure my life would've turned out different if not for them. As my Grandmother attended and went on to become a nurse. I believe, generationally, my family has benefited from that.

Anyway, I mentioned the possibility of a joint-venture before, and what do we see in the FP today?

City, First Nation to ink joint-venture deal

While this doesn't involve the Kapyong Barracks, is does illustrate that such a venture is more than possible.
