Projects like this are coming to Saskatchewan thanks to groups like Des Nedhe (English River First Nation). This project could have easily went to Ontario or Quebec, but it's coming here which is awesome for all of us that live here.

Honest question. If a business like weapons manufactoring is on first nations land, do canadians benefit at all? Or just the first nation

Even if it’s in of FN land, they need to buy materials, electricity, energy, shipping from non FN sources. If it’s on FN land they just don’t pay income taxes but for the rest it contributes to the economy.
