The thing here is that we aren't using the Indigenous population of our city to our advantage. Unless you call saddling the Indigenous population with what is basically unwanted junk an "advantage".
If anything I would express gratitude to Indigenous organizations for spending time and money on fixing a problem that they never created in the first place. But personally I think they deserve better.
