In my meager opinion, all Six Nations members should be tax immune whether they live on or off the "reserve lands". Some of us, through no fault of our own, live off the Territories that are the "reserve". We have purchased homes on the track that is our traditional territories and pay taxes for these homes. Taxes that are being collected by municipalities within the lands that were promised to us for our perpetual care and maintenance and which are charged for services to these properties and yet none of this money goes back to our nation Council. I for one thinks this should change and that the same rights to tax immunity should apply to all of those members living on our lands whether they are on the reserve or not. Contrary to the popular belief of the mainstream society, we all pay taxes, on employment earnings, on homes, on day to day purchases, on hydro and heat delivered to our homes, on everything. Canada needs to wake up and follow through with the promises they made, end of discussion.
