It was also granted the tribe that without funding the consultation process for the community was too expensive. However, it is unclear in what way this otherwise " unfair," said procedure can be performed.

Then a sacred fire was lit in front of the prison in Thunder Bay, which on March 19, however, put the police. Here, Chief Vernon Morris said of the Muskrat Dam First Nation, it could not be that consultations the prelude to the exploration was when the tribe for fear of serious disadvantages reject this. Chief Norman Brown of Wapekeka First Nation said the company was not welcome on the tribal land. Subsequently, members of surrounding tribes joined together to form a protest march from Kenora, in the provincial capital of Toronto. The six tribal leaders were acquitted by the Court of Appeal, the Ontario Court of Appeal on 28 May.
