The Warriors gang in Winnipeg, though, are not the role models that Fontaine and others want young Aboriginal kids to see, nor do they want the rest of society to assume that all Native people are members of gangs. So they have a hard time because of the 10 per cent. Security people will follow any Native person around a store, for example, and many are institutionally mistreated or harassed. The people who are locked up in jail are primarily gang members. Non-gang members are recruited in there, and have to join for their own protection.
Gangs control most of the illicit substances on the inside.
That hasn't got much coverage, but it'll come out when these people start to go to trial. Workers are trying to get at each of these factors, but taken together, there is a huge problem in the Native communities, especially on the prairies. As they said, it will take generations.
