Coexistence or Cooperation

The First Nation issue is a undeniable problem in Canada. On one hand, people want to protect the tradition and habits of the native people. On the other hand, development needs resources which means people need to find new resources for growing business. Unfortunately, most of unmined resources are in the region of the Fist Nation’s.

According to the tribal park issue. People who have signed the contract for having the rights to mine are facing with the problem of native people declaring the mining area as their tribal park. It is hard to tell who is right or wrong, or say, legal or illegal.

Rationally, the company has paid for the area and the mine project had been permitted by the provincial government. They are legally having the right to do whatever they are allowed to on this area.

However, from the side of the native people. We may have a sense of looting these resources from the First Nation. The people who from the First Nation can always say that this area is their home, their origin. They can also claim that they don’t need money, they just want their home to be what it should be. 

This is why the issue of First Nation has always been a problem for organizational business model. The line between native people and others is vague and hard to split. May be it is hard for people to cooperate, but I think we can find a better way to coexist.
