You sound like you have a white,townie view of the noble savage. I have worked,hunted,prospected and lived in the native comunity for years. Inherited rights means many different things. Like one family controls everything , sexual abuse by elders or family members gets covered up and no one is accountable for any financial responsibility. Equality for every citizen is what this is about. regrds ralfph and Gordo is a twit

Assimilation is inevitable, question is how do we avoid civil war on the way to it ... eventually we all marry each other's sisters and become one big happy family, still squabbling but at least about other stuff ... 'permanent' race-based legal distinctions can slow down this process, perhaps for extended time, but it cannot stop it The indian has much to offer the native with blood of other continents, mixing is not a one-way process, it changes all involved, there will come a new race, who will look back and find the current issue absurd Campbell - i have concerns on this guy too .... will he sell us out to the scum in control of the Commerzwaffe ... remains to be seen

Why don't you tell us what rights you think they should have and while you're doing so why are they different than other citizens of your fine country? By the way I believe it will be proven that BC does subsidize its forest industry. There's a company up there called Timberwest. It owns its land and doesn't pay crown stumpage. It gets more money from offshore buyers for a cunit of fir saw logs that it can get from a BC mill. Why is that? You should read their annual report and see what it says. When BC produces copper, gas or oil it sells at a commodity price that everybody pays. Not true for logs but its true for lumber. Why doesn't the government just auction off the logs to the highest bidder. The price would be determined by the market with respect to the world market demand for lumber. A BC or Manitoba, Washington or Oregon or a Japanese mill would pay the same price for the commodity. Then it would be up to the productivity of the labor to determine the profit margin on the lumber. Pretty simple formula but somebody's afraid to try this free trade idea. Who may that be?
