While the community of Attawapiskat has dominated the national media for weeks, two Cree communities on the other side of James Bay each declared a state of emergency.

But the story lines unfolded differently. Financially, the two Quebec Cree communities are in much better shape than the communities on the other side of the bay.

To find out why, APTN National News invited NDP MP Romeo Saganash to discuss the issue.

Saganash is an NDP leadership candidate, but he is also the former negotiator for the James Bay Cree.
