We’re ready to die for our lands say chiefs

Never let it be said that our aboriginal chiefs don’t have a flare for the melodramatic. A group of First Nations chiefs say their people are prepared to lay down their lives “to protect their traditional lands from any unwanted development.” Those at high levels who meet with the chiefs will tell you this seems reflective of the tone of their meetings. First Nation persons are said to claim their reservations must be treated like Switzerland.
