"Then you hear someone such as Ontario Regional Chief Isadore Day say “What if even just 25% of the profits from the diamond mine [90km from Attawapiskat] went to the First Nation, do you think they’d have a new school? They might have two or three. Do you think they’d maybe have a swimming pool for the kids? I think so.”

Is that true? What does Day call profits? As far as I know DeBeers is still paying off the capital invested in building the mine that is why they have not been paying the government any royalities. I think Day is talking about cash flow and if DeBeers had to hand over 25% of that I doubt if the deposit would have been economical.
