text: I have no idea where these challenges will go but I can feel the growing frustration that many Canadians feel with regard to 'First Nations'. While I believe there is still much empathy for aboriginals as a people, I believe that respect for the 'First Nations' leadership is dwindling rapidly. Their opposition to these projects does nothing to help most rank and file native people. It is simply a self-serving shake-down scheme wherein the few get wealthy and the remainder are relegated to the status quo. It is not good for Canada and it is certainly not good for indigenous Canadians.
