"In nature, there are no royalties."

Richard Mollen, Innu

Industrial and hydroelectric development projects are subject to negotiations between developers and the Indigenous communities affected. The royalties offered are attractive because they can improve living conditions. But they come at a price. "Money destroys", says Richard Mollen. It causes solidarity to crumble and divides forces, and tints discussions. We end up forgetting that in nature, there are no royalties and that we must work together to survive.
