 Local Journalism Initiative Reporter The purpose of Indian Oil and Gas Canada (IOGC) is not to stand in the way of First Nations that want to take control of aspects of the resources on their land. But Strater Crowfoot, CEO and executive director with IOGC, admits that a memorandum of understanding signed 25 years ago to achieve that purpose has failed. “We’ve been after the (Indian Resource Council) to `let’s sit down and talk about the MOU. Let’s upgrade it. Let’s modernize it. If you want to take over oil and gas resources, let’s talk about it.’ It’s been in my work plan for IOGC for a number of years,” said Crowfoot, who represents the federal government on the co-management board that was formed through that MOU.
