What do you call blackmail Dolphin?
I call it so when someone who ( meaning Matawa ) should not have an influence uses extreme measures or demands to get their way.
Yes we ignorant European immigrants have done so in the past so that justifies similar today? And they have learned too well while we now are trying to teach them compromise. The only natives of the region that hold a good hand is Webequie and they are playing it smart by keeping quiet. It is the malcontents that are making all the noise.

Blackmail was: Airstrip being built near the Ring without a permit. When that was cought they blockaded and used justification of empty oil barrels as cause of pollution. Yet the very water they drink is probably partly poluted from oil barells from their own diesel generators.

Would you prefer that I use for today's demands 'extortion' as a substitute? That would do just as well for me. Ed.
