Peigan Lonefighter Milton Born With A Tooth took the stand in his own defence last week during his appeal on five weapons charges.

Born With A Tooth, 36, testified that he fired a rifle during a standoff with police because he thought he was entitled to a warning shot while protecting his land.

On-reserve gambling - the Great Red Hope for B.C. bands - could be in jeopardy before the first casino opens its doors.

The biggest problem facing bands planning to build casinos on reserves was persuading the province to change its laws to allow them to profit from gambling, which they claim as a right.
