NATIVE LAND CLAIMS MEETING

_On Friday March 10th, Herb Grube!
and | will host a public meeting on
Native Land Claims . and. Self
Government at 8pm at the International
Plaza, 1999 Marine Drive, North
Vancouver.

Guest Speakers include Me! Sm’in,
Q.C. (a contributing writer to 3.C.
Report and noted expert on aboriginal
treaty claims), John Duncan, MP for
North Island-Powell River, and Mike
Scott, MP for Skesna. The Mediator will
be Bob Head, former Director of
Aboriginal Policing in Ottawa.
Acmission is free and there will be an
opportunity to ask questiu:; 8 of the pan-
elists.

LAND CLAIMS

The Federal and B.C. Governments
are currently in the process of negotiat-
ing land claim agreements with a num-
ber. of Indian Bands in 8,C. Across
Canada to date, six land claims have
bean settled at'a projected cost of $1.5
billion. However, settlement of these

‘claims did not end existing federal pro-
gram funding, The agreements quaran-
tee access to Ihe benefits and programs
of the Department of Indian Affairs in
porpeluity.

The land area covered by the six
settlements is 560,000. square kilome-
tres, roughly the size of France, and
benefitted an aboriginal population of

46,932 persons — less than 10% of on-

reserve aboriginals, .

SELF GOVERNMENT

Land ‘claims and “self government"
negotiations are going on simuttane-
ously even though thare is no csfinition
of the term ‘self government’. While
many nen- aboriginals worry about the

. cost and implications of setting up gov-
emments based on race, some Indians

J are expressing concern about whether

such governments would be account:
able, democratic and responsive. How
would their individual rights be affected
and what personal. benefits, if any,
would thay receive?

It is important to note that settled
land claims receive Constitutional pro-
tection. If mistakes ate made, we and
our children will have to live with them
forever, It is perfectly valid to ask your-
saif whather you trust! your Federal and
Provincial Governments to sign ayree-
ments without your input, and whether
you want a say in the process.

The Government has indicated that
land claim agreements will be ratified by
vote in the affected Indian communities,
but no such commitment has been
made to allow non-aboriginals the same
opportunity. With the Nisga’s claim in
Northwest 8,C. close to completion, it is
very ‘important that you become
informed about the implications for you
and your family.

UNDER NEGOTIATION

The Nisga settlement will set a
precedent for all other B.C. claims.
Leaked documents indicate that the
Nisga asked for $2 billion in direct com-

‘pansation and 23,000 square kilome-

tres of land, a Nisga only fishery, as well
as timber and other resources, The B.C.

Government offered $125 million in:

compensation and approximately 2,000
square kilometres of land. The Federal
Government offered a “treaty protected

allocation" of the commercial fishery. -

If a fina! settlement ends. up some-
where betwoen these two positions, the
cost and land settlement implications
for the more than 40 claims already filed
in B.C. runs into the billions of dollars
and will involve massive transfers of
land and resources.

Please plan to attend the meeting
on March 10th.

Wricity as today’s energy- -efficient models,
