The B.C. fisheries Survival Coalition is on the attack again, and this time it's targets four Native bands for criticism.

The coalition accused the Musqueam, Tsawwassen, Burrard and Coquitlam First Nations of greedy consumption of the Early Stuart Sockeye Salmon. Rather than casting an eye to conservation, the bands chose to make a quick buck, said spokesman Phillip Eidsvik.

Self-government in, Assembly of First Nations out: That's the scenario being painted by Phil Fontaine, head of the Assembly of Manitoba Chiefs.

The reason such groups as the AFN, the AMC, and the Federation of Saskatchewan Indian Nations exist is because of the constant struggle against governments that refuse to recognize Native rights and refuse to behave honorably when it comes to treaties, said Fontaine.

"If we can implement the inherent right to self-government, then the picture changes in a fundamental way, because then our governments are in place."

A $60 million Royal Commission report on the relocation of 85 Inuit in the 1950s validates the testimony of the High Arctic exiles, said Rosemarie Kuptana, president of the Inuit Tapirisat of Canada.
