Canada continues to distribute $5 -- yes $5 -- in annual treaty payments

The Canadian government continues to distribute $5 every year to citizens of First Nations whose ancestor signed treaties requiring annuity payments.

The payment, which has never been increased, is so small that some citizens wait several years to pick up their checks. But many view it as a way to ensure the government abides by treaties signed between 1850 and 1921.
