Surely the precident has been made, the FN can buy a say and earn a royalty of 3% with a $25M investment/loan, they have far more to gain than money.

They currently stand to see Roads, railroads, hydro, water, education and jobs come into the far north. If i were in their shoes I would be embrassing NOT, welcoming the new deal with Cliffs as a potential saviour to their current situation. Without NOT nothing will change in the area in our life times. NOT maybe their last chance for a better future for their people, or do they realy want things to stay the same. I think not.
