Volunteer position???? christ.

get this... all the other trustees can be paid... but reading through the agreement it seems this one can not be paid.


the guy who is leaving right now... is conviently a lawyer who happens to represent first nations in court various times.

What ticks me off is the situation of highly paid positions on the rez held by some who have not even finished high school yet this position which is asking for serious academic and practical credentials is offering no compensation. Could it be because the position is to be held by someone who is not of the tribe? I call bullshit on this one.

Perhaps there is an extraordinary expense account that allows one to be reimbursed at a pretty good rate?

The link is broken now....IP Trust??? Isn't that a gang?LOL

link still works for me.

www.lptrust.ca

???The other works, but not this one...the one with more details.

still works for me

likely they have never had more then three people click it before so we maybe brought the server down?

well until it comes up.. what did you list at? 2.3 mill?

I'm sorry but I find that combining Any First Nation and Trust to be an oxymoron. But it proves why they feel they have a sense of "entitlement" when it is called the The Long Plain First Nation Treaty Land Entitlement Settlement and Trust Agreements.
Wow a volunteer position that requires all of that education, not many out there that will have that CV and those that would, would be crazy IMO to volunteer for this.

I figure two people would (well three)

1) politician or someone else hoping to influence First Nations people about them when it comes time to selecting them for a job or a political position

2) crazy people

The person cannot be treaty status? Is that why it is a volunteer position? Is there a legal barrier that states treaty funds cannot be paid to non-treaty persons?

I will bet that the "job" description is written is such a manner as to ensure no one applies. Then they will be able to appoint whomever they want.

They have to be independent of the Band for their impartiality. For their opion will be needed and honest information is needed with no bias.
