Of course it is, although some of the natives don't think that the land is worth enough.

"They say it's a land exchange and I don't think it's been a fair market value. You go to Elbow Valley, on the north side of the reserve and a section there is like you know, millions of dollars and we're talking thousands of acres here.""
So which is it, burial grounds or some prime Elbow Valley real estate that they're over valuing to squeeze more out of the province?
Cutting off access would be interesting...as has mentioned the city and its taxpayers shouldn't be assisting the natives in their casino, and secondly, it would be interesting to see how they build access to the casino...if its a road from the south, its almost the same path, around the Weaselhead, as the ring road would have taken, going over the burial ground they're trying to preserve, as well as going through prime (as they call it) Elbow valley land
