Tensions are on the rise between British Columbia First Nations and coastal fish farms, despite the provincial government's new process to relocate aquaculture operations away from sensitive areas.
The newly established Salmon Aquaculture Review Committee (SARC) recently announced that 11 Vancouver Island fish farms would be relocated because of environmental concerns, but…

Dear Editor:
I was reading the article about Newfoundland's Premier Brian Tobin and his remarks in reference to First Nation leaders and alcoholism. I actually heard about these remarks prior to reading this article, and knew that there would be a lot of negative feedback from First Nations leaders and people. I would just like to say that it is quite obvious that the…

A tribal war is brewing in the South China Sea. The Pangong Tribe and the Tagi Tribe of Palua Tiga are trying to oust the other off their island paradise. The conditions of these tribes are primitive. They have to march for miles through thick jungle for fresh water. They receive a meagre ration of rice. Some have taken to eating rats. Each tribe has only one ramshackle shelter…

Dear Editor:
I found a baby bird yesterday. It had fallen from its nest, hopping around, unable to fly. Its beak large and yellow. The mother had built its nest between two tightly fitted pieces of plywood on the roof of our back porch. We all commented on how it was a terrible place to put a nest.
My first reaction when finding the baby Starling, was what to do…

Growing up on the Curve Lake Reserve located somewhere in the deepest, darkest part of tourist Ontario, I enjoyed a certain amount of social and cultural familiarity, knowing that within those artificial walls created by the Department of Indian Affairs I could expect life to change very little. Living on a reserve was, in many ways, an oasis against momentary trends, fads and…

Dear Editor:
It comes as no surprise that such a "degrading and demeaning" mural rests in a colonial seat of power (Victoria's 'degrading' mural should go...June 27, 2000).
It's no wonder that this 'ugly' depiction has 'distorted' the attitudes towards a once proud people. This 'unhappy history' is not only inaccurate, but probably helped to justify and incite the…

Dear Editor:
I want to take issue with statements made by the supposed Ipperwash Coalition members in your newspaper. They are not true. The coalition has specific people to speak on its behalf. We only issue public statements and are only interested in public justice and the truth for what happened at Camp Ipperwash the night Dudley George was killed. The coalition does…

Dear Editor:
I am writing in support of Jack Ramsey (MP-ICA-Crowfoot) being allowed to continue representing true Canadians in both his riding, as well as with his political party, the Reform Party, a.k.a. Canadian Alliance Party.
I feel that Jack Ramsey represents and epitomizes what Canada truly stands for in its 500-year relationship with the Indian people of…
