I disagree. They have shown that this is an issue they are going to be ruthless with. As a group they hold all the cards in this negotiation. If we build it through their land we will have to overpay and the reserve will still have leverage on us. Pick plan B whatever that is. Bulldoze Lakeview or build over the reservoir, whatever else it takes to complete it without involving them in the process. They`re not bad people and they are only exploiting the city`s stupidity over the past fifty years. But with their treaty`s and the leverage over the city they have, there is no way we end up doing anything but getting crushed in this negotiation.
