The natives should be settling their problems with the governments ( Ontario and Federal). The companies should not be involved but they are bargaining chips ( black mail if you please ) that the natives use.

I say natives with the governments because what rights the natives have, or lost, is due to the governments having taken away, or for granted neglected, and sold to the companies. The companies are as much victims here as the natives due to the lack of a standing agreement as to what if any rights the natives have to the Ring area.

The natives need a firm and clear outline as to what they are entitled to and not be left as by standers watching as infrastructure is build in their neighbourhood and ore ladden trucks are driving by raising clouds of dust.

They see rapid changes taking place and are taking a stand before it is too late.
