Page 3

The outcome of a court case involving four bands in Alberta may have serious ramifications for Natives across Canada.

The Ermineskin, Montana, Louis Bull and Samson Bands are seeking a declaration from Ottawa to the effect that, under the 1870 Rupert's Land Order, the federal government honor a promise to protect "the interests and well-being" of Natives. A resolution of that statement could mean compensation for lost resources and lands which span almost the entire region of Canada.
