"One of the laws in this country is the law that's enshrined in the Constitution
that says Aboriginal and treaty rights of the Aboriginal peoples of Canada
are recognized and affirmed. These are not empty words.
It is a part of the Constitution of this country.
It is part of the law of this country."
. . . Grand Chief Ed John

PERSPECTIVE
"Debunking the 'Race' Myth in Debating BC Treaties"
by Paul Chartrand
May 13, 2002

"Treaty negotiations and aboriginal rights
are extremely sensitive issues.
A referendum that relates to such issues is
fraught with the danger that it could act as a
lightning rod for unjustified animosity
and negativity towards aboriginal people
who are trying to resolve the issues
surrounding their status as Canadians."
BC Chamber of Commerce President John Winter

The Tragedy of the BC Treaty Referendum
"We are no longer in negotiations,
but in a situation where one party is dictating
what they want"

by Hupacasath Chief Judith Sayers
(Note this is a .pdf file)
