Moreover, due to a population which is getting younger and poor on reserve opportunities the number of First Nation peoples living in Kamloops is growing. Models to equalize relative incomes which rely on public support have come under recent criticism for being cost ineffective, and for creating dependency. In an era of federal government fiscal restraint the spectre of greater public support for an economically marginalized group seems even more unlikely. As such this "solutions orientated" report on the Kamloops urban Aboriginal population was developed trying to avoid the most commonly used remedy, more public funds. The Kamloops urban Aboriginal community is difficult to identify as a geographically defined community. First Nation persons in Kamloops are spread out throughout the city with the only identifiable community of place to be found within the Kamloops Native Housing Societies housing complexes. It was therefore impossible to specify a global population from which representative samples could be drawn for research. The results presented below from interviewing some persons who make up the Kamloops urban Aboriginal community should be considered with this potential statistical bias in mind"--Executive summary, p.
