Ohhh are those cops gonna catch kaka for not wearing their hats!

Ministry of Forests denial of Aboriginal title"...
Why would they deny it if there was in fact legal title?
Taking this kind of thing to court can be
a very long and expensive process.
Where does the money for this come from?

Tax increases, Any, tax increases. And we foot the bill for both sides on this crapola.

Thanks Parrothead!
That would be my point.

Nice clothes Sally is wearing. Wonder if those were made in China?

Nice to see them shaking hands. Hopefully the parties involved can resolve this quickly. Chester

Don't be fooled by the shaking of hands Chester!
This is far from over, and it ain't pretty.That is a staged picture,and this is an old and ongoing dispute by the same people, as always, in that area.
There is a lot more going on here than meets the eye!

I'm told it was traditional for Sally's people to eat the inner bark from trees, so give them access to the de-barker at the mill. That'll give them food like they used to eat. If we have to keep it exactly like conditions used to be, that'll do it.

Your point is well taken qwasxter, but do we really believe that this will EVER be done?
I doubt it.
Even when the so called treaties are settled,those who do not agree with the conditions of that treaty will still carry on as before it was all said and done.
That's already begining with bands that have signed their treaties.
When you consider that native people are claiming almost all of B.C., how could it ever end?
Anyone can go out in the bush and say this is my traditional land,I have always used it,and who can prove otherwise?
There are two sides to every coin and to believe that this is all the fault of our governments not dealing in good faith is completely untrue.
In order for a cause to succeed strong support is needed, and all this kind of confrontation does is destroy any support that might have been gained.
Take away a man's abiltiy to earn a living and he WILL fight you.
Nobody wants to take that away from native people,they want to give them the ability to change and adapt.
Be proud of your heritage and where you came from,but also remember where you need to go.
And we ALL need to start remembering where the money comes from.
It is not limitless.
It comes from taxes and jobs, like mining,fishing,
logging,sawmilling,retail sales,farming,on and on.
That is called having an economy, and without it, nobody survives.
The days of living off the land are gone and they are not coming back.
It is not possible to live that way any longer, and everyone involved needs to understand that.
You cannot go back,none of us can.
The past is gone forever and it is also long past the time when people need to move on.The opportunities are there, but it seems the desire is not.
The land will no longer feed anyone as it once did, it will only contribute a very small part of your needs.
Failing to see and understand that will only make a bad situation worse.
That is the way it is, and all the blockades in the world will not change it.
Nobody gets all the marbles anymore than anyone gets out of this world alive.
Either live totally off the land or join the 21st.century, but you cannot have it all.
It would seem that bad leadership is as much to blame as anything.
Maybe it is time to try another way before the hard feelings are so ingrained that they become a handicap forever, that cannot be changed.
History tells us that when the needs of so many are denied to satisfy the needs of a select few,trouble always follows, be it right or wrong.
Find the middle ground and things will begin to happen.
There has to be a better way!

There is a better way to solve this
"I want everything for nothing crap"
Tear up all treaty agreements and the indians can, like the rest of us purchase land from wages that they earn. Fairness for all.They

There is a better way to solve this
"I want everything for nothing crap"
Tear up all treaty agreements and the indians can, like the rest of us purchase land from wages that they earn. Fairness for all.They were not the first people here! where is the proof?
