The Peigan band will forgo politics and celebrate the passing of the Olympic torch when it moves through their reserve late this month.

The Peigans earlier endorsed the Lubicon band land claim and plans for demonstrations in support of the Lubicons., the band's own land claim and the controversial Oldman River dam have been postponed.

Band councillor Nelbert Little Mustache said band members made the decision to postpone the demonstrations after a plea from band Elders.
