An investigator for the Canadian Human Rights Commission has concluded an Ojibway woman was subjected to "ongoing racial insults" from Secretary of State bureaucrats in her former Regina office. The office had a "clear lack of understanding of Native culture, which was severe enough to create a poisoned work environment" for Mary Petawanakwat, concluded the investigator. Ironically, the department is organizing a national anti-racism campaign.

A panel of 22 independent scientists has condemned a Defense Department study, which maintains a proposed $500-milloon NATO flight-training base in Labrador would have a minimal environmental impact. The study is "inadequate by all conceivable standards of assessment," said William Montevecchi, an expert on the effects of noise on migratory birds. More than 100 major flaws were identified in the study. Native groups say noise from the flight-training would drive away game and disrupt their lifestyle.

The Gitksan-Wet'suwet'en Indians of northwestern British Columbia have signed a ground-breaking framework agreement with the federal government to bring self-government to their 8,000 members scattered on nine reserves. They're the first large group of bands to reach such an agreement and the first to do so while pursuing a land claim through the courts. The Indians remain mired in their landmark land claim involving 57,000 square kilometer. It's the largest Native land claim ever launched in Canada. The case is still before the B.C. Supreme Court.
