Hint from David Paul Achneepineskum that Matawa is ready to do business...Like you say Babjak1, there is obviously disagreements within Matawa as to how the pie will be divided. Chief Alvin Fiddler should really step in here to share his views about resource revenue sharing with the communities of Matawa. I do not think the current government has any intention of giving them a bad deal, and neither is Noront. I just think that certain Chiefs in Matawa know they are overstepping the bounds of what their people should receive in respect to any deal.
The government pie for Matawa should be distributed evenly, but any private pie may not. I think this is where the problem lies.

Great partnership amongst the three First Nations and Nakina Lumber. If First Nations are to prosper they must have substantial equity in all business ventures happening in their territory. This will be the norm in moving forward with any development.
