  Donne,
  I understand that the Cross Lake Cree do not speak for all Cree, I think
  we all on the same page there.

  I appreciate your answers on the NFA but I will require something more
  on that subject yet. Would it be possible for you to send me a copy of
  the original agreement that was agreed to by all five tribes initially?

  Thanks,
  Tom Kreage
