The Lubicon nation and the government of Canada's relationship is very strained. The fight to have rights to the Lubicon oil filled land has been an on going event as far back as 1939 to this present day. The government has gone onto their land and have logged and dug for oil. This process has had many negative effects on the Lubicon First Nations people over the years. They governement "leased" the land and dug 400 oil wells within 34 km withing Lubicon community.
This cause what the Lubicons feared would happen. Their way of life was now starting to fail them. A way of life that had lasted generations and generations of their people, that was supposed to last.The amount of oil wells being dug in their area resulted in a large disruption of moose habitat. These First Nations people thrived off of trapping as a huge part of their income and lifestyle.

Now that the moose were evacuating because of the Canadian government the Lubicon people suffered in pay cuts due to the government intevening on their own land. I think that this is very rude of the government to have such poor communication with people in your own country. Because of what they did to the Lubicon people, the Lubicon's had to get government help to support them. It was not that they could not support themselves in the first place, but they were no longer able to due to the invasion of their land and the surrounding land.

The Lubicon Nation has gone to the United Nations Human Rights Committee for help. This Human Rights Committee has come to the Canadian government on more than one occasion to help the Lubicon Nation out. They have most recently tried to negotiate in 2006. So far nothing has come of their efforts other than raising more awareness to the people and causing the government to see their faults helping them to move forward to finally solving the conflict and communicating better.
I think that this has been going on long enough. Since 1939 till now. As a people, and as a government and a nation do we not know how to communicate with one another after almst 70 years. To hurt a nation because of our lack to communicate is a crime. The Lubicon's in my opinion should be apologized to and get the help they need to have their lifestyle back to the way it was before we went in their and muddled with it. They obviously need a mediatior to help communicate between them and the Canadian Government.
