It's Confirmed, Reserves Suck

I was doing some research today and come across these statistics.

Criminal Code incidents reported to police on-reserve, 2004
	Location of incident
	On-reserve		Outside reserves
	Number of incidents	Rate per 100,000  population	Number of incidents	Rate per 100,000 population
Homicide	41	13	581	2
Attempted murder	24	7	693	2
Robbery	162	50	27,315	93
Assault	20,804	6,464	225,843	770
Sexual assault	1,694	526	21,840	74
Other sexual offences	123	38	2,502	9
Abduction	30	9	605	2
Total violent crimes	22,878	7,108	279,379	953

Do you see that? If you live on reserve in Canada you are 800% more likely to be a victim of a violent crime!

Reserves are run by the Federal Government, this is what you get when the government runs things. Please, please, I urge Aboriginal people to reject the Federal Government and move towards complete First Nations autonomy and self-government.
