In many ways, the latest round may not make a tangible difference. As they have over and over in aboriginal rights cases across the country, the judges will probably side with Long Plain, Swan River, Peguis and Roseau River First Nations. Then, the federal government will probably appeal the case to the Supreme Court, which is where nearly everyone expects Kapyong to end up. That will take another three or four years. While we continue this futile courtroom saga, the most valuable piece of underdeveloped real estate in the province will lie fallow and well keep blindly wondering why indigenous people arent living up to their economic potential.
