The drivers weren't in the wrong, they were asking for a favor. Is this really where we are in Canada in 2015, a couple of white guys ask to travel through a reserve because they were detoured by a fatal accident and they are in the wrong? Really? Are we this sensitive to native issues that we can't see this for what it is?

Also, it's not extortion, they were within their legal rights. However, just because it's their right, it doesn't mean that they weren't being petty.
