Justice inquiry tackled prejudice, unfair treatment against Natives

Page R2

This is part two of a two-part series continuing from Aug. 2

To recap: A judicial inquiry in British Columbia uncovers the poor state of relations between Natives of the Cariboo-Chilcotin region, and all levels of the justice system there. One on-going issue is the problems created through the legacy of residential schools.

With that for an emotional foundation to face later life, a little contextual light is thrown on the relations between Cariboo-Chilcotin Natives and the justice system.

The Peguis Band will receive between $400,000 and $500,000 to repair a 35-year-old school building damaged during spring flooding. As well, the band has assurances the federal government will co-operate in the building of a new facility, to be built in 1998.

"We didn't agree on any actual figures," cautioned band advisor Lloyde Stevenson. The band will be sharing part of the cost. "We find that fairly reasonable," he said.
