"At the Mining Forum in Thunder Bay, Achneepineskum emphasized that Matawa communities are working for development, not against it, as long as it’s environmentally and socially responsible."
BUT
<“The community needs to heal before decisions can properly be made on any development,” Moonias added. “Neskantaga is wounded very badly.”>
Later same as Moonias,
<“But also we will need help with our social and health crises in order to fully participate in the opportunities coming to our region,” said Achneepineskum. “We’re really talking about a lot of these problems that have to be solved one way or the other before any development happens.”>

Think we have problems with mine development now?
The above comments point to more serious problems later.

No wonder the Devco has no native member on it's board yet. It was easy to get the present ones. A native will probably mouth comments per above and expected progress could slow to near halt.

And how are we or the governments to solve those problems before development progresses. I say near imposible demands.
