GE, just a quick comment on some of your statements. I have dealt with First Nations peoples for a number of years and I don't see resentment coming forth at all with this. I think the locals will embrace the fact that NOT has taken the initiative to get people on board that DO understand the culture. As for the direction of the advisory council, I'll bet shares that they pull in some local representatives to be on the council as soon as they can. Elders and chiefs are my bet.

This is very good news and IMHO will make the majors take notice. Having a solid relationship with the original land owners is a huge forward step in getting production underway.
