A British Columbia First Nation leader is touting the importance of good relations between aboriginal and non-aboriginal communities.
Chief Clarence Louie of Osoyoos was the key note speaker at the Northern Networks Trade Conference yesterday in Fort Frances.
He says the development of business relations is a win-win.
"I do see it happening more and more across the country," says Louie, "where First Nations people are developing businesses, partnering up with businesses and bringing their own economic development ideas to the table."
Louie's own band developed its own corporation that owns several businesses and employs hundreds of people.
