Page R3

After a three year delay, a program to heal the wounds left by the Oka Crisis is finally getting off the ground at Kanesatake.

Breaking all Barriers, a $1.5-million project funded jointly by the federal government department of Indian Affairs and Health and Welfare, is slated to begin this month and run three years.

The program's goals are to restore a sense of community, rebuild bonds between families and clans, and establish better relations between natives and non-natives.

Fish merchants in the Cape Croker area aren't convinced a court decision upholding Native fishing rights is enough to ignore a ban on selling Aboriginal catch.

The April 26 decision ruled a provincial government ban on selling fish caught by Saugeen and Nawash Fishers unconstitutional.

But the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources has yet to respond to the lower court ruling and fish sellers are uncertain how to proceed.

More than 250 people gathered at the offices of the Ontario provincial government on Earth Day to fight for treaty and aboriginal rights.

The protest, organized by Toronto's Native Canadian Centre and attended by different Native organizations focussed on First Nations right not to be taxed by the Canadian Government, on or off reserves.

"Our relationship with the government is defined," said Richard Kahgee, chief of the Chippewas of Saugeen, who attended the rally. "We are two sovereign nations that don't pay taxes to each other."
