The Globe and Mail (Report on Business by Bob Weber) - The rubies lie so thick on the ground that workers trample them underfoot. But as a Canadian mining company moves to develop a Greenland deposit so rich it could change the global market for the precious red gemstone, local Inuit say they are being shut out of a resource that is theirs by aboriginal right. “They took away every right to collect any rock at all and sell any rock at all,” says Niels Madsen, a Greenlandic Inuit ruby hunter. “It seems to me they only want foreigners to come in.”
