The Federal Court is saying it was ``unreasonable'' for the federal government to appoint a 3rd party manager for the financially troubled First Nations community of Attiwapiskat, which falls within the Nishnawbe-Aski Nation. The decision, released today, says it's clear that stepping in and taking over was not the best way to deal with the root of problems at the troubled northern Ontario reserve. The Conservative government appointed a 3rd manager as Prime Minister Stephen Harper suggested that the band had mismanaged federal funds in the face of the housing crisis. That manager was withdrawn April 19, but the Attawapiskat First Nation refused to drop its lawsuit against the government.
