November 6, 2001 - How the Mi'kmaq profit from fear
Below are the responses of globeandmail.com visitors to a story about how the Membertou band of Cape Breton signed a deal with a multinational mining company over land they didn't actually control.
To contribute your thoughts, please go to the main have your say page.
If special status creates a system whereby educated natives, like lawyer Mr. Christmas, can cry "native rights" and be placated every time with special deals and preferential treatment in perpetuity, then no! It is a disgrace that he and other band members cut themselves a piece of the mining pie profits', while "successfully" squashing environmentalists from the WWF and Sierra Club, who were trying to protect old growth forests and animal inhabitants, but were broad-sided by the powerful lobbying skills of an omnipotent native bay street wheeler who knows how to seal a corporate deal worth millions. It is a direct conflict of interest for Mr. Christmas and friends to set up and control a research institute to then oversee environmental studies of the mining operation, in which they have a direct economic interest. How convenient for them and how sad for the beaver.
M. Baumberg
