My fear is that after the above gets passed they will be able to camp on your lawn or maybe even move into your house and demand you feed them. :-)

I still say where are the goal post?
Can your private ranch land be logged by indigenous folks taking the wood for historic and ceremonial purposes?
Like Nog says, it will only get worse.
No one can deny the rights of FN but where does it end.
Our dilemma is not the Indians, our quandary is who is going to stand up and put things in order.
Our BC First Nations need to understand that they surrendered their "title" to the land the moment they started accepting payouts from the government.
Someone is sounding more and more like our little Jazzy with every long winded post, off to the ignore list you go beside your mentor...
There is no question he is a troll
Read the rationale for not approving the Ajax mine. It states that part of the reason for not approving the project is based on infringement of aboriginal rights and title that would be caused by the project. The proposed project was on private land owned by the company. If infringement of rights can occur on their private land, what about mine?
I fully agree but think they were told to back off on this one by their own council. The Okanagan is not the place they want to test it. Some band up north where there is less people and it will not receive any news coverage. I fully believe they will challenge some rancher over his ownership of a section or 2 and that will set the precedent for Vancouver, the Okanagan, or the Island but the start there will turn the people against them. They need the courts on their side first.
