A Native-owned trust company in Alberta defeated several national banks in a contest to administer treaty land entitlement funds in Saskatchewan.

Peace Hills Trust grabbed 75 per cent of the $450 million offered to 25 bands in Saskatchewan through a 1992 treaty land entitlement deal with Ottawa and the province.

"We were invited," president Warren Hannay said. "We never solicited any of them. We were very careful. We've been doing business for over 10 years with other bands in Canada."

It's been one year since the world first saw videotape of Innu children in the remote village of Davis Inlet high on gasoline fumes screaming about a secret suicide pact.
