A person in a federal prison costs more in 1 year, Than it does to pay for a university degree In standing beside Indigenous peoples to oppose these destructive policies, Canadians would be living up to the spirit and intent of the treaties and, in so doing, protecting their own futures. Economic reports have already shown that the costs of maintaining Indigenous peoples in poverty is higher than the solutions. Those same studies show that the costs of delaying the resolution of land claims and treaty implemention for example, are higher than if those claims were resolved equitably. Even the most basic math shows that it costs more to keep an Indigenous person in a federal prison for one year ($100,000) than it does to pay for a four-year university degree ($60,000). westcoastnativenews/a-person-in-a-federal-prison-cost-more-in-1-year-than-it-does-to-pay-for-a-university-degree/
