I wrote about native fat cats who had never set foot in a residential school jumping into the fray and grabbing off all the cushy jobs and fat honorariums with the Foundation and feathering their own nests first. This is exactly what has happened. Native communities would have an impossible job putting together acceptable proposals. You can bet your bottom dollar that there were no residential school survivors in that little department either. Aboriginal Healing Foundation staff has increased considerably since 1998 and now numbers around 60 fat cats.
