Canadian leader collides with Natives' natural resources claims

2. That is a good point.

I fully support First Nations when they want to keep the resources in the ground. But there are some that simply want a bigger cut of the extraction. There is a stereotype that all FN people stand together as some ecological monolith, and that is simply not true. Some are also supportive of privatizing reserve land for the first time ever, so that they can sell it to developers, effectively gutting the 7 generation principle, (that, in itself is not universally held by all FN people).
