The chiefs from the Clayoquot, Hesquiaht, Ahousaht, Ucluelet and Toquaht First nations, all members of the Nuu-chah-nulth Tribal Council, met with provincial Premier Mike Harcourt to start negotiations to protect their traditional lands from loggers before and during treaty negotiations.

The Inuit of Labrador will likely reject Newfoundland's latest land claim offer if it doesn't match offers made to other Inuit peoples in Canada in the past.

"I think it's going to take some very serious scrutiny and evaluation," said Toby Andersen.

The pirates have come to Akwesasne.

Most nights, they lie in wait off the rocky shores of Cornwall Island in the St. Lawrence River, hoping the cigarette smugglers making their runs from the United States on the south shore won't be heavily armed.

Some of them are from Vietnamese gangs in Montreal, some are Hell's Angels. Some are from Cornwall, an industrial town slowly sinking under the pressure of the recession.

Local RCMP and the town's mayor refer to them collectively as organized crime Some are Natives from Akwesasne.
