agency used to carry out the theft is the Ontario department of natural resources Reading in halting English from brief Indigo said that for years the wild rice crop was considered the property of the Indians and for years all In dians were allowed to harvest it But wild rice now is consid ered delicacy by white people This means that piles of money can be made from har vesting and selling it The

and government agencies steal yet another Indian resource Chief Peter Kelly of the Sa baskong tribe said officials of the ministry go into remote areas and intimidate Indians by wearing militarylooking cloth ing including holsters by their sides which until recently con tained revolvers This kind of intimidation must stop Chief Kelly told Mr Justice Patrick Hartt of the Ontario
