Concerns expressed about inaction on Government’s part in the Amerindian Land Titling process, lack of political will to address mining issues in indigenous communities and other areas do not mean that the National Toshaos Council (NTC) has moved into an anti-government stance said NTC vice chairman Lenox Shuman.
“We are not anti-government. It is just that we have not seen any movement in the land titling process. I would go so far to say, it is negative movement. Government has started granting leases in proposed indigenous lands and extensions.”
Shuman did not say where the granting of leases has begun.
