I know a few people with status who live typical lives in metro Vancouver and seem to have no desire to move to a rural area to connect with the land or whatever the stereotype is. Obviously there's selection bias here, but they seem to be following the usual trend of urbanization, and in doing so they are picking more cosmopolitan cities over a more distinct lifestyle and stronger cultural connection.
Do they still celebrate their heritage?. If so, then that's a win in 2020 IMO, and not living on one of these third world reserves like we see in Northern Ontario.
