Meeting.
I remember being at a meeting after the casino got here and they said all the land had been bought up a long the Rama Road.. That there would be businesses. They must be invisible. At yesterdays meeting Sharon Henry said that there would not be a new Heath center of Excellence. Yet another failed venture money for the consultants tho.

Meeting
To days meeting was well very disappointing., With only 13 members the , The Chief said it was because everyone is satisfied with every thing. All that was said about the Cold water treaty wa s they the chiefs would be meeting in a few weeks. And there had to be i few things ironed out . We will be paying Orillia to take our compost why i don't no. The Parking Lot was talked about and we will be talking about it more on Mondays open council meeting. , Hope to see you all there

Coldwater Narrows Claim
When the claim first started it was all about compensation for Chief Yellowheads people for the lose of land and lively hood, Now is all about buying land and economic development. Rama has enough land that can be change over to Band land with the purchases the band has made over the last 12 years ,and without us knowing. Now they want ten million back for that land out of our treaty money i don't think so. Our children all ready have a trust so i feel it should go to the people here and now.At 100% pay out what are we looking at 30 or 40 .000 that's not much today. Iam sure most of us would pay our bills, maybe start a business, get the things we need.. I no most of us want a 100% pay out BUT i feel Chief and Council will work with the government and it will not happen.As they have become the Modern Day Indian Agents
