The Inuit people of Nunavut are not opposed to controls on guns but they won't stand by and allow federal firearms legislation to infringe their treaty rights. That's according to Paul Quassa, spokesman for Nunavut Tunngavik Inc. (NTI), the corporation that manages Nunavut's land claim agreement, the largest in Canada.

The Firearms Act, which is being phased in between Dec. 1, 1998 and Jan. 1, 2003, requires all gun owners and users to be licensed.

Amidst a pristine ecosystem rich in natural resources, the Heiltsuk First Nation continues to struggle for survival and has made the decision to take the government to court.

On July 4, the First Nation confirmed its decision to work outside of the British Columbia treaty process because of what they see as a narrowing intrepretation of the 1996 Gladstone decision by negotiators. The Supreme Court Gladstone decision entitled Heiltsuk to a commercial fishery of herring roe on kelp.

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 saying "the truth hurts" is true. Why else would First Nations people be so offended?

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 for its members to sleep in. When they're not competing for resources against the other tribe, the individual members conspire against each other. Exile is a constant threat.
