Which get contracts to mine the materials for the government of Canada.  I
know this from personal experience.  There was natural gas found on my
fathers friends property.  Part of the bubble went on to the rez, part on
private property.  The natives on the rez got a percentage and the federal
government owned the rest.  They only sell companies the right to extract
whatever it is, and even then it's only for a term (not sure how long).

I dont see how it can be. There are a number of large mining interests all
privately owned. Alcoa comes to mind.
