Mathias said it is possible that some of the matters involved in the land claims might be settled out of court at the time of the further constitutional conference to be held and through the federal Office of Indian Claims. But he is certain that whatever decisions are declared they will be ap- pealed and counter appealed continually, right to the Supreme Court of Canada. He states that he considers it quite feasible that ‘the native land claims will be upheld on the basis that they were the original inhabitants and from the acceptance of the federal government that it is willing to consider the claims. As to what such a tur naround would mean to the millions of non-Indians by the natives, Mathias says: “I don’t think we are that unreasonable that everyone _ has to stop living there.” What Indians want, he said, is negotiations and then settlement. “The settiement might meclude many clements, including alternate land, financial scttlement and better legislation of Indian self-government. FAIR DEAL “We are not saying all residents of Vancouver must vacate. We are secking a just settlement. We have been part of the growth of Vancouver for decades and now we want to share in that growth. The original oc- cupants have been isolated from economic and financial development.” Mathias says his people are not trying to turn back the clock and want to decal with the maticr im terms reicvant to today’s socicty. “What its on tnal is not Vancouver or the citizens of Vancouver or the Squamish Indian people,” he says. “But what is on trial is the Canadian justice system .~ The claims arc so far sweeping that there arc many issucs that different Indian bands have to sctile among themsclves, such as the boundarncs of claim arcas. Por cxamplic, while the Squamish Band is claiming aboriginal title to the entire North Shore, the Musqucam Band tays claim to Hor acshoc Bay, Deep Cove aad most of the Greater Van- couver Regional District. Since 1973, the Squamish Band has had four lawycrs researching its claims. Anthropologists and historians agreo that the Squamish peopic’s traditional tcrritocy included Stanicy Park.” Mathias bas told the News. He «says Indian cider CHIEF JOE MATHIAS know af people “who lived there, Squamish Indians are : buried there and many native stories and legends tell of Stanley Park. Mathias expects the Aboriginal Council of B.C. to meet within two months to determine strategy from that point on. And he says thaj whereas the provincial government has been reluctant even to ii the of Indi claims, it will be unavoidable once the matter is underway since much of the land in question is Crown land and under provincial jurisdic- tion. But Mathias concedes: “1 think we have got a long, long, long way to go. The. entrenchment of our rights in the constitution § is probably about one quarter of the battle.” ae CALL: 987-1434 (starting Nov. 27) OFFICE HOURS: MON. 4 30am. - -3:00 p.m. : WED. 4:30).m.- 7:30 p.m. We ook forward to meeting you and your .¢ child! - OPENS- - DEC. ist/8i AT.LARS 1605 LARSON, veabbe tron) ee .30ct diamond. 14k yellow gold ring.
