Northern Insights continued from page 5 people were exercising their aboriginal right to fish and hunt, even when game and fish laws were being broken. The new leniency policy will not be much different. Wildman said "our enforce- ment policy will be modified so that we recognize the rights native people have to hunt and fish for food for personal and community use." This amounts to formalizing what was being done informally before, "to minimize the num- ber of instances where native people might be charged." Wildman quickly added, "I recognize before we go any further [than the leniency poli- cy] it will be important for us to consult widely with the First Nations and with groups such as the OFAH. "He asked the OFAH "to appoint a com- mittee to liaise with me and INCOME TAX Prepared -Personal; rental -Small business DAVID FALZETTA 825-9471 522 Lakeview Dr. Terrace Bay Wednesday, Feb. 27th 'til Saturday, fJarch 9th | Visa & Master Card | No Layaways on sale items 8 Simcoe Plaza ministry staff about enforce- ment approaches, and the gov- ernment's overall direction in terms of native access to resources." Rich Morgan said the OFAH welcomed the idea of appointing a committee, but questioned the way the gov- ernment was negotiating self- government agreements.

It's these family 'warts' which seem to get in the way sometimes. In a family setting they become exaggerated and less understood because some- times too much perfection is sought for and expected. But NONE of us is perfect, or will ever be perfect. Why can't we understand that and learn to live charita- bly with each other's imperfec- tions, family or friends? But then, if we really understood, we would all love each other, wouldn't we? er reses 4 riginal self-government," he said. "We can't treat one native group in one part of the province differently than any other." Wildman's message to the OFAH was thus crystal clear - just like it was to a NAN con- vention in the same Thunder Bay hotel November 28 - this government wants to do things as much as possible in the open, and through consulta- tion. But if won't back down on aboriginal self-government agreements. At the media lunch, Bryan Meadows, the Times-News correspondent from Dryden, asked Wildman "what should I tell my son, when he asks me why he does- n't have the same rights to hunt and fish as an Indian?" Wildman's answer was straight to the point: "Tell him the native people were here first, long before his ancestors, and that gives them special rights." Straight talk - talk that won't necessarily win votes - but at least it's consistent. Thank You + x Thank you to all my friends, and my grade | class for all their visits, cards and gifts.
