We all know it  will cost the equivalent of an entire. house anywhere else to just install smoke detectors on a reserve. .  One chief said" Its not like we have a Canadian Tire up here and we can just run out and buy a new sink if we need one" The idea of stock piling home repair items like paint, dry wall, nails, shingles  and tools for use on reserves simply  eludes natives and sadly even the Carolyn Bennett.  Can Tire would gladly donate everything they need too, but we all know it would all simply  disappear.  That is the discussion we should be having, not white man's duty to them.
