The conflict over Aboriginal commercial fisheries in British Columbia is heating up again with the approach of the summer salmon fishing season.

The B.C. Fishermens' Survival Coalition accused the Department of Fisheries and Oceans in mid-June allowing Natives from the Lower Fraser Fishing Authority to over-fish the river.

"Barely a few weeks into the fishing season, the DFO has allowed an endangered run of early Chinook salmon to be over-fished," coalition spokesman Dave Secord said.

Expressions of horror and shock crossed the face of Siksika Elder Matthew Melting Tallow when he examined the Indian artifacts in the collection of the Glenbow Museum.

Inuit families relocated to the High Arctic islands in the early '50s suffered no hardships and have no basis for a claim of government compensation.

That's according to a group of retired federal officials responsible for the planning and implementation of the move.

"There was no hardship," shouted Bent Sivertz under questioning by commissioners on the conditions endured at Resolute Bay. Sivertz was the Executive Assistant to the Deputy Minister of the Department of Resources and Development at the time of the move.
