Some tradition, Marten 150 km from Noront and Aroland 250+ km. There was none worthy of speaking before European imigrant's technology made it possible to be accessible that far away. Reality is, they were in the stone age before immigrants showed up.
Aroland has no say IF Noront does not subscribe to the plans re N/S route that Cliffs did. And it looks like for now Noront is not concerned with N/S, only KWG is. So why the noise now?

You nailed it, Sudbury:
"The fustration being exibited here by Aroland and Martin Falls is due to the fact that they have just become less relevant in the whole scheme of things."

They just may burry any hope for the N/S route if they get their way. Welcome Mushkegowuk with hydro and railway, a working community by comparison, lol. If I was KWG, I would do a counter protest to their protest and threaten possibility to sue for damages, why else is KWG at such a low share price. All that chromite and patent are a drain on sp, lol ( Would that be poking a stick into a hornet's nest? No, I am not a KWG holder so no bias from that).

My pet peeve:
Why are they on boiled water?
Did I pollute their water supply?
Did they go through environmental assessment before they polluted? ( Just remember the oil barrels from explorers issue of 2009 before the blockade.) No double standard here?
Will they transfer their claim that miners polluted their water when it is already polluted now.

First look in the mirror before you point fingers at someone from down south.
