JUNE 17th

TO THE EDITORS

GAME RICHTS = Recentlv, permits for
hunting moose have been refused to native
Indians in Cassiar. I received a letter
from the "Native Voice-Vancouver Brother-
hood" which mentioned a resolution direct-
ed to the B.C. Minister of Lands, Forests,
and Water Resources asserting that "Native
Indians under the Indian Act have the
right to hunt for game on unoccupied
territorv within the Province of British
Columbia. In arguing for the resolution
it was pointed out that conservation
officers have refused to give permits to
some Native Indians upon request to hunt
for game. This contravened the decision of
the B.C. court of Appeal, affirmed by the
Supreme Court of Canada, in the case of
Regina vs. White and Bob that asserted the
right of Indians to hunt for game during
closed seasons over the ancient tribal
territories of the Indian Land or Lands

to which they belong,

Chief Band Council.

eeoeseeMUYr game warden, Brian Baldwin
checked with his regional office in

Prince George, and the legal case referred
to is not applicable to the Northern half
of B.C.

During the calfing season which will
last until the end of June, no vnermits
are issued to anvone,

Mr. Baldwin also commented on two
moose found in the bush covered with
Plastic. Both were skinned and several
parts, delicacies, of the moose had been
taken, while the rest was left to rot.

This is the nearest irresponsible act
against our environment, and ecologv. -
especially during calfing season,
