If they did decide to not honour the agreement, would you expect full compensation for breaking such agreement, to the point where you are given hand outs, not only for you, but for your grandchildrens-children-children? Say the reservations starting make more money, and your 4th generation grandchildren then come to Cheifs and ask for more money because said agreement was dishonered 4 generations ago.
And you have no problem with that, is that what you are getting at?
