| Abstract: |
Canada is accused of repression, violence and threatening the lives of Aboriginal people in order to deny them the rights, lands and resources they claim are theirs. These acts are said to be in violation of Canadian law, Supreme Court rulings, and United Nations injunctions. Efforts to stop the harvest of lobsters at Burnt Church, New Brunswick in the name of conservation is seen as a pretext to deny Aboriginal rights. Remarks to the AFN Atlantic Policy Conference, September 6, 2000. |
