Court of Queen's Bench Justice H.S. Prowse has ruled that Treaty Indian George Alexson of Eden Valley Reserve should have asked a rancher's permission before shooting two elk on leased grazing land. But Indain Association of Alberta president Roy Louis said courts can't take away he treaty right of Indians to hunt on public lands. On Jan. 19, Prowse overturned a Provincial Court which said permission was not required. Prowse's decision is likely to be appealed.
