Very interesting...I wonder how they're gonna figure out all the government issues. I'll be watching this closely, pretty interesting.

Will Dogrib be getting all the profits from the two diamond mines?

From Luvian's article:he Tli Cho deal will control hunting, fishing and industrial development. The aboriginal government will be eligible for a share of revenues from extensive energy development along the Mackenzie Valley and will be entitled to all royalties on resources from its own lands - royalties that currently go to Ottawa

Is that the answer you wanted? [img]smile.gif[/img]

If I was Ottawa I would not bank on diamond profits. Manmade diamonds of exceptional quality are a year or so from market. Costing as little as $5/carat to produce [img]smile.gif[/img]

In 10 years they may be cheap enough to have a diamond topped table [img]graemlins/laugh2.gif[/img]

Finally, the natives are now getting what was promised to them.

Thats great! This may qualify as the largest act of native reparations in the history of the America's!!! Amazing that this deal was 80 years in the making! I do hope it works out. What a great example of consideration and respect for Native autonomy and self-governence.
