I don't know what your community is like, but the laws of my community didn't relate to what we are experiencing today. In fact, I talked to elders in my community about that issue. They said that they couldn't help me, because I was dealing with corporations, I was dealing with government and I was dealing with other first nations. By the way, with regard to those other first nations, we had a long historic record of warring with each other. We didn't like each other.
A lot of the laws that I was told about didn't relate to what I was actually trying to achieve.
