This film discuss` the success of the Membertou First Nation. It was uploaded on to youtube the beginning of this year 2011. It demonstrates that our people can be self reliant and that we can accomplish success without government funds.
I don`t know whether having a gas bar in the community means that we are ready for self governance but so far its all we got in my community.
It seems pretty obvious that Membertou is doing well for themselves, I had no idea they were debt free, so good for them!
I enjoyed watching this film, I think Dan Christmas stood out the most for me. He looks native, no question about that but he sounds so intellectual. I just feel so proud whenever I hear a native speak with intellect and confidence.
It was so impressive how the Membertou First Nation showed all these companies that they are very capable of working with them and are also capable of handling their affairs with professionalism.
There`s no denying that Memembertou has created their own circle of excellence. There is hope for all First Nation communities if we work with the right people and have our own intellectual people work for us. This film gives me hope that soon enough we will be a self governed nation.
