B.C. bands take land claim to Supreme Court

Page 18

Two bands in northeastern British Columbia who lost a land claim appeal will take their case to the Supreme Court of Canada.

The Doig River and Blueberry River bands of the Peace River district in B.C. will appeal the Federal Court of Appeal's Feb. 9 decision denying their right to sue Ottawa, the bands lawyer Thomas Berger said.

In the 2-1 decision, the court ruled that the bands did not have the right to sue Ottawa over the loss of their reserve in 1945 because the province's 30-year limitation on legal action had expired, Berger said.

Floyd Favel is a hard man to find.

Between his two jobs, artistic director at Native EArth Performing Arts and director of Toronto's Native Theatre School, he's a busy man with little time to sit and chat.

But now the showcase of playwrights that Native Earth presented at the end of last year is over, he can sit down and reflect on what he's trying to achieve, and what's in the future for native theatre.

Women's association a national force

Page 16

The Ontario Native Women's Association is a force to be reckoned with.

What started out as a grassroots provincial group defending women's rights has become a political advocacy group influencing Native groups across the country.

It was dogged determination that saw ONWA representatives sit with male Native leaders during the Charlottetown negotiations. And because of ONWA members' dedication, the issue of Native self-government became subject to an equality clause which represented women's voices.
