It is clear to me that there are those that want the development and those that don't, those that have more of a vested interest in the area and those that speak without any real personal stake in the north land. I suspect everyone in the north, particularly the FNs, wish to see things progress in a responsible, manageable and sustainable way maintaining a quality of life and environment. Ultimately, I suspect when resource push comes to shove, this area will get developed regardless of what the general populace wants. It can still be done in a responsible way though with thought to the land. Nothing is perfect, but with modern mining techniques much can be done to better safeguard conditions. A lot of what is anti-mining is based on the past and not the future. Just my opinion.
