VICTORIA – There will be no legislation introduced to grant aboriginal title in B.C. in the foreseeable future, government and aboriginal leaders concede.

George Abbott, B.C.'s new minister of aboriginal relations and reconciliation, told Black Press in an interview he was expecting the proposal to reconstitute B.C.'s 203 aboriginal bands into about 30 historical "indigenous nations" to be rejected when chiefs met in late August.

Olympics angst is getting a workout

I've had some Olympics angst lately, and it seems to be growing.

It started with the ads in some magazines and on TV. Some of the athletes featured are fresh-faced, cherubic aboriginal youths. I don't deny those kids are great, and role models for everyone to pat on the back.

But I got a twinge of sadness about the whole thing. I'm really torn -- do I support the Winter Olympics or not?
