Just to play devil's advocate for a second... is it possible this blockade is being initiated by members of the band separate of the chief/leadership?
'A representative of the Attawapiskat community could not be reached for comment.'
If this were an official band action I'm thinking the press release/letter of intent would have been released at the same time they blockade went up.
But I'm just spitballing here, really too early to say what this is about.
