Native bands in BC have a natural advantage in economic opportunity over those on the prairies. It is much easier for them to find profitable business to compete within due to location for tourism, climate for wine or natural resources for mining/timber. Most bands on the prairies occupy land that has no value beyond farming. To compare Chief Louis' success in BC to failures in Manitoba and Saskatchewan would be improper and akin to saying that those living in a desert should grow wheat. It is easier said then done.
