The Indian Act restricts the growth of Native businesses and fosters underground markets, Mohawks from the Kahnawake reserve told the Royal Commission on Aboriginal Peoples.

The act prevents Natives from starting their own businesses by limiting the size of the investment, said Ron Abraira, director of the Kahnawake Economic Development Group.

"The Indian Act ties our hands," he said. "It says you can have all the businesses you want as long as they're no bigger than a french fry stand. This perpetuates the underground economy."

The First Nations could be at a greater risk from acquired immune deficiency syndrome, or AIDS, than the rest of Canada, a recent study indicates.

The Ontario First Nations AIDS and Healthy Lifestyles Survey, released last January, estimates as many as one on-reserve Native out of every 212 in Ontario could test positive for human immunodefiency virus, HIV, the disease which is believed to cause AIDS.
