Right now this government does not seem to recognize the reserve as a community operating on its own. It is recognized as a population within the town of Hay River. I think that the Department of Municipal and Community Affairs and other departments have to start recognizing that this community wants to operate on their own. They need their own sewer lagoons. They need their own water and all the other facilities that other communities enjoy. There seems to be a double standard when you look at Kakisa and Enterprise that run their own services. The reserve has to utilize Hay River for the lagoons, water, and everything else.
