Manitoba Chiefs Move From Sympathy to Oil Royalty Claims
A Manitoba First Nation leadership group led by Terry Nelson demands federal action on a long unsolved land claim linked to possible $60 million for their community. They threaten rail blockades to gain attention, citing Ontario precedents, while Dakota Nations seek a share of oil profits and new royalties within a broad land parcel from Portage la Prairie to the U S border. The tone shifts to potential court action if no response within 60 days.
