Published On Sat Nov 21 2009 One in five inmates in a federal prison is aboriginal. For women, that figure rises to one in three. These are astonishingly high rates of incarceration given that aboriginal people account for just 4 per cent of Canada's adult population. A new report, commissioned by Canada's correctional services watchdog Howard Sapers, gives us a partial, and troubling, answer as to why aboriginals are so vastly overrepresented in prison. http://www.thestar.com/opinion/editorials/article/728332--aboriginals-and-prisons

"It's a jewel," he said of property near the Powell River, B.C. "It's incredible."

Please bear with me, dear reader, for another walk through the dark forest of aboriginal rights. I promise you news and a ray of light on the far horizon. First, the trail so far. Regular readers will be aware of the relentless march of aboriginal title cases through Canada’s highest courts. Each victory seems to lead to another, more sweeping lawsuit, lending more weight to the claim made by some, including NDP leader Carole James, that most of B.C. is “stolen land.” Man.

Whatever you think of the Squamish First Nation's leaders erecting massive billboards in front of some of the West Coast's iconic vistas -- and I think it's sheer greed -- you have to give them this. When it comes to hard-nosed business, it plays the angles with the best of them. 20 ottobre Vancouver 2010 names six Aboriginal flame attendants, torchbearers and honorary elder fire keepers for Vancouver 2010 Olympic Torch RelayVANCOUVER, Oct. 19 /CNW/ - Meagan Big Snake, a talented Siksika hockey player from Alberta, will use her athletic prowess and community spirit in the job of a lifetime this winter - running with the Olympic Flame as its guide and protector to ensure it keeps burning bright on its cross-Canada journey, starting in just 11 days in Victoria, BC. http://www.newswire.ca/en/releases/archive/October2009/19/c7927.html 16 ottobre Canada likely to face criticism over first nationsBy Miro Cernetig, Vancouver SunOctober 15, 2009
Canada's aboriginal fact is now literally etched into Vancouver's Winter Olympics for the world to see. The raven and orca, the timeless motifs of West Coast aboriginal culture, are the background of the Games' gold, silver and bronze medals unveiled Thursday.

Squamish First Nations chiefs and councillors gave final approval Thursday to erect six TV-like electronic billboards, each the size of a city bus, on its property in some of the most scenic areas of British Columbia. Depending on whose opinion you listen to, the billboards are either a traffic hazard and a blight on B.C. scenery or a financial fix for a struggling First Nation. http://www.google.com/hostednews/canadianpress/article/ALeqM5jYohHhUwMyykbD8ax5fyf1e_y66g |
