There are homes and businesses. On the Culbertson Tract, half of the town of Deseronto is on that land. If they want to use our land, they can work out an agreement to lease our land. The crown was responsible for what went on when our chiefs back in 1837 objected and the government's own lawyers said, “What you're doing is illegal”, and it chose to commit illegal acts. Our people have been harmed and prejudiced by that, and that needs to be corrected. The extinguishment of our title to that land is not acceptable. Maybe there's some other instrument that it could use, but Canada says, “We don't lease land to settle claims.” I guess it prefers to use the land for nothing.
