He would not identify the girl. “I think the interest is ob- vious,” he said in a telephone interview. “This is a unique experience for a hyman being.

Silent Scream, in circula- tion since late 1984, was criticized for Nathanson’s emotional narration, during which the doctor said the 12- week-old fetus being aborted feels pain, has func- tions and can sense approach- ing danger.

The only age group for which fertility in 1984 was significantly above the 1976 level was for women aged 30 to 34. For the 30-to-34 age group the rate in 1984 was 72.2 births per 1,000 women, up from 56.4 in 1976, the study said.

BRAMHAM VANCOUVER (CP) — British Columbia stands alone in Canada in its refusal to recognize aboriginal land claims and in its refusal to negotiate their settlement. Premier Bill Bennett has said the issue of aboriginal land claims “is the one thing in which British Columbia has a great difference between the rest of the country.” The intransigence of Bennett's government has led to the almost daily arrests of Haida Indians for trying to stop loggers on Lyell Island: The Haida say they will continue their blockade until their claim to the entire Queen Charlotte archipelago is negotiated. And those negotiations must include the provincial government since it holds title to the land. Bennett has spurned offers by David Crombie, federal Indian affairs minister, and Environment Minister Tom McMillan to mediate the dispute. “I have no mandate, nor would any other leader, to start FEATURE REPORT negotiations on the assumption that the native people own all of British Columbia and we have to négotiate back our part,” the premier said in an interview. Cliff Atleo, executive director of the Native Brother- hood of B-C., calls Bennett “a political animal in search of an election issue.” (An election is expected next year.) Atleo noted that not one native leader has ever said that they want to take people's homes away or throw out existing businesses. WANT RECOGNITION What native leaders want is recognition of their ancestral right to all of the province and a subsequent negotiation to expand their land bases to enhance each band’s economic viability. Paul Tennant, a. political science professor at the University’ of British Columbia, said the provincial government has “an ostrich-with-head-in-the-sand attitude by not recognizing and adequately informing the public that (if the land claims issue goes to court), things could go either way.” He notes that with a negotiated settlement all three parties would be happy, while there is no guarantee of that with a court-imposed settlement. British Columbia is unique because, unlike other provinces, only two small areas are covered by treaties — one in northeastern British Columbia and several specific lands on Vancouver Island that were to the of Canada decision on the Nishga claim, in which the judges split 3-3 when it reviewed a B.C. Court of Appeal decision that went 2-1 against the existence of aboriginal title. Because of the split, the appeal court decision stands. But the opinion in the Sup Court was sufficiently strong to change former Liberal prime minister Pierre Trudeau's mind and agree there is a legal basis supporting aboriginal title. That led to the inclusion of { Section 35 in the C ing the exi: of 4 aboriginal rights. Tennant said the provincial government has ignored legal decisions that came after the 1973 Nishga decision. As-an example, he cited the 1984 Supreme Court of Canada award of $10 million to the Musqueam band as compensation for losing 66 hectares to the Shaughnessy Golf and Country Club in 1957. The band’s interest in the land was judged to be a “pre-existing legal right” predating Canadian and British colonial law. Bennett says he will only talk to — but not negotiate with — Indian leaders if they drop their claim to the whole province. Edward John, a lawyer and tribal chief of the Carrier Sekani, calls the suggestion “absolutely absurd.” “We're not saying take people's homes away,” he said. “If we had wanted to do that, we could have done it 150 years ago. “We have to respect the fact that there.are non-Indians in our areas.” Although the Nishga say they won't take away houses, the tribal council asked the federal task force on ive land claim to allow of ‘third: -part land. * Squamish Chief Phillip Joe, whose homeland now is called North and West Vancouver, said, “How do you make a = Jand claim if a precondition to that negotiation is that the land is already owned and you have no claim at all?” Nuu-Chah-Nulth Chief George Watts said, “We are not looking for total control of the entire province. “We are looking for absolute control over a certain amount of land to allow our villages to exist and an agreement with the rest of the province over how we can co-exist.” British Columbia is also unique because of the diversity 4 of cultures among its native people from the plains-type % Kootenay bands, the hunting and trapping bands in northern { British Columbia to the-coastal bands that depend on the fisheries. That's why negotiations must be done separately because Watts’ people don't care about cattle-grazing land, while Kootenay bands don't care about sea urchin harvesting. Hudson's Bay Co. The remainder of B.C.’s nearly 950,000 square kilometrés is claimed by 27 native nations. Earlier this year, the Nuu-Chah-Nulth Tribal Council stopped forestry giant MacMillan Bloedel Ltd. from logging Meares Island until the issue of their land claim is decided by the B.C. Supreme Court. The other well-known claim is the Nishga’s, who. began negotiations with the federal government in 1974. But a senior Indian Affairs Department official said settlement is unlikely until after a federal task force on land claims settlements reports and until the provincial government enters the negotiations. The task force report is due by the end of the year. The B.C. government claims aboriginal title was extinguished before British Columbia joined Confederation. Its legal opinion is also based on a 1973 Supreme Court Sixty per cent of Canada’s reserves are here as well as 87 per cent of Indian bands. Of the province's 2.7 million residents in 1981, 82,645 are native people — either status, non-status Indians, Metis or Inuit. The Nishga say the federal government is negotiating “honorably,” blameless. There are 14 registered B.C. claims, but senior analyst § John Hall from the federal Indian Affairs Department said there is only enough staff to negotiate six at a time across the country. So in British Columbia, only the Nishga claim has progressed to the bargaining table. “The federal state of Canada by its division of powers has perpetrated fraud as far as the Indian land issue,” John said. “The provinces have most mineral rights, timber rights, land rights and water resources, knowing full well the federal government has to assume responsibility for Indians and land settlement.” but others say the federal government isn't $ Teachers ailolceaal Mo (CP) — Tea- graduate studies at the Erik- son Institute for Early Edu- cation at Loyola University in Chicago. “We sometimes forget our sonual convention of the-Al- for Young You Get a Sense of Security When ¥.
