Blackfoot Chief Strater Crowfoot says he supports the 1988 Winter Olympics but sympathizes with the Lubicon land claim.

"Native land claims are issues that should be dealt with, Olympics or no Olympics. We have our own land claim concerns," he said in a prepared statement this week.

Crowfoot, elected in December, says he and his council cannot dictate the sentiments of individual band members.
