FM in the territories are in an entirely different situation then those south of the 60th.
For one they aren't surrounded by non natives. In many places they are the only residents.
They also never had treaties and were only recently awarded rights by the courts.
BTW, did you work as a computer specialist for the Canadian government, and did your wife run a canoe venture operation on the Peace River.
If so, you and I have met. If that's who you are, you certainly know more about FN in the far north then I do.
My FN experience has been entirely in Alberta and mostly Northern Alberta.
