[ont.general] Grassy Narrows

I am doing research on the Grassy Narrows Reserve, and in particular, on
the mediated settlement with respect to the (mercury) pollution of the
English/Wabigoon River. I hope to review the durability of the
agreement-- has it been a success from the perspective of the people of
Grassy Narrows? How should "success" be measured? Would they choose to
mediate (rather than litigate) a settlement again-- if they had the
chance?  Any information on this particular case, or on the
applicability of alternative dispute resolution techniqes to disputes
involving Native Peoples, would be most appreciated.                    
      Please send any information to: lorrilee@nccn.yorku.ca
