I know similar plans have been floated by other First Nations in the past but there hasn't seemed to be too many that have materialized. I think it's a good idea, but it will be a hard sell. People are nervous with living on native soil where legal status is murky on what rights they have and what recourse is available to them. With commercial development it's much less of an issue as we aren't talking about peoples homes. Wish them good luck though.

Yeah this is just a initial proposal and there is still a lot stuff to be sorted out before they start building but I think the fact that they have a modern treaty puts them ahead of other bands.
