Now don't get me wrong. This is indeed an amazing and wonderful thing to happen, IF it actually happens.... Key issue...

My biggest concern is will we stop here? Will they take this money and give up on fighting for the land still owed us? The mineral rights not paid for? The broken treaties not repaired?
I do not want a little money to stop the bigger cause.
