Rutley e Payette. Counselling & Hypnotherapy 986-9304 MAILBOX Lautens on land claims is ‘drivel’ CAP WEEK Dear Editor: i'm cesponding to Trevor Lautens’ latesi unfortunate bucket of drivel (Jan. 25). It is irrelevant what the societies of North America were like when the Europeans arrived — it is the European history of broken treaties and genocide which the current land claims debate seems to address. I admit the truth, that the societies of coastal B.C. and the Pacific Northwest were class societies and slave-holding societies, that the Aztecs were a vicious empire with a theocratic caste which held human sacrifice as the greatest religious honor, that the Inuk practised infanticide and abandoned their old to die. All of these facts are irrelevant to whether the breaking of treaties and genocidal attacks of the Europeans on these peoples (and the many others who were closer to the racist ‘noble savage’ now resurrected in its ‘new age’ guise) were legitimate. If these were not legitimate, then the land claims must be settled in favor of the native nations. This ‘noble savage’ garbage is simply a red herring, though dear to the heart of those would prefer not to see justice done. Samuel Wagar North Vancouver United Way thanks Dear Editor: I want to express my sincere thanks to you, your staff, and your readers for everything you have done to make the 1990 Unit- ed Way campaign an outstanding success. In a tremendous community ef- fort throughout the Lower Mainland, people expressed their willingness to help others in need by donating more than $16 million to the United Way, so that fund- ing can continue to be provided to our 89 member agencies, our partner the Canadian Red Cross Society, and 28 affiliate agencies. Together, these organizations provide special helping services to more than 500,000 iocal people. It is most heartening to them, and to more than 5,000 volunteers like me who worked very hard on the United Way campaign. to know that the community recognizes and supports their special effort to help so many people.
