For the life of me, I do not understand why First Nations leaders support the Ottawa government at all — unless they’re being paid off.
I spend and have spent a lot of time in First Nation areas of Alaska and Yukon Territory. I don’t know much about Yukon Territory but from talking to many first nation people in Alaska face to face including one chief I can say that Alaska has few roads and few bridges and few private property owners for a reason. And, that reason is the First Nation politics are STRONG and they don’t want growth unless they get paid BIGLY for it.
