The conflict over West Coast fisheries is not over the number of fish Indians want to take, said the head of the Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs.

The real issue is how much of their fishery Natives are willing to share with the non-Native, commercial fishermen, Saul Terry said.

A B.C. Natives' lobby over control of their own education will wait until the federal Conservatives have a new leader.

The Union of British Columbia Indian Chiefs has worked for the past year to secure greater control over education for Native communities, said Ray Hance, chairman for the Steering Committee on Indigenous Education.
