Tax Exemption Reality
Myth: All Indigenous people are tax-exempt
Reality: Only ~314,000 people eligible for tax exemptions (less than 1% of Canada's population)
Requirements: Must be Status Indian + income earned on reserve + living/working on reserve
Key Fact: ~55% of Indigenous people (770,000+) don't qualify because they're MΓ©tis, Inuit, non-Status, or live off-reserve

Key Insights
Conservative (Harper 2006-2015): Maintained relatively stable funding at ~$11B annually with minimal growth
Liberal (Trudeau 2015-2024): Nearly tripled funding from $11B to $32B, focusing heavily on child welfare
Major Categories: Child Welfare ($23B in 2024), Healthcare ($7.5B), Education ($2.3B), Housing/Infrastructure ($1.0B), Water Infrastructure ($0.4B)
Tax Reality: Indigenous Canadians contribute proportionally less in taxes due to 15.5% lower median income ($34,800 vs $41,200 in 2020), not widespread exemptions. Most Indigenous people pay full income, sales, and property taxes.
