Natives said getting restless

OTTAWA (CP) — Alberta
Indians are restless, they
seek justice and they are
tired of ‘‘talking to deaf
ears”. in the federal
government, says Indian
leader Joe Dione.

Dione, president of the
Indian Association of
Alberta, said at a news
conference here Thursday
that “there are a lot of

' people out there who ara

restless, tired and fed-up”
with conflicting in-

‘ terpretations of treatles

signed. in the 18703 between
representatives of Queen

: Vietorla and: the province's

native peoples.

The federal government
has consistently abided by
the letter of Treaties Six,
Seven and Eight’ but has

ignored the spirit and intent -

of the documents and taken
advantage of every loophole
it could find, he said.
~ Dione said that because
important issues such as
land claims, mineral and
hunting righte were not
pneluded in thelbocuments,
they should be reviewed and
sated to meet the

problems of the 1970s.

He said the Sarcee, Saul-
teaux,hCree, © Blackfoot,

Blocd, Pelgan, As inibaine ;

and Sioux Indians of

southern Saskatchewan and

Alberta regard the treaties
as solemn agreements which
should be honored.

The 31-year-old leader, ac: *

companied by a delegation of
six Alberta vhiefs, later met
Indian and Northern Affairs
Minister Jake Epp, former
finance. minister Jean
Chretien and other MPs.

Epp, who has sald he
wants better relations with
native peoples, and Chretien,
who held the portfolio from
1968 to 1974, were presented
wpth coples of a new book,
The Spirit of the ‘Alberta
Indian Treatlzs, during the
meetings.

very interesting and gave
Bione and the chiefs ‘advice
on how to handle things and
how xar to go with their

issues.”

Dione said he hopes the
book, published by the Ot-
tawa-based Institute for
Research on Public Policy,
will counter the 5difficulty

have had communicating °

thelr interpretations of the
treaties to white sociely:

Reserve near Edmonton

Other Indian leaders, who
recently flew to London to
tryo to meet wpth Queen
Elizabeth, have. said they
regard the momarch as the

_peryon who sym-lbolizes the

sacredness of trzatymaking.

Dione saib that while his
organization did‘ not par-
ticipate in the trip to London
where Indian delegates were
refused an audience with the
Queen, It agrzze with many
of the statements they made
In regard to the con stltutlen.

When the federal govern-
ment advised the Queen to
refuse an audiznce request,
the chiefs lobbied British

parliamentarians. They

argued that the Britishe |

North America Act shoulb
not be returned here until the
tgewlyhproblems have been
successfully dealt with.
Chief John Snow of the
Stoney Pndians on Morely
Reserve near Calgary said
his people are angry about
the shoddy ‘treatment they
receive from bath the Indian
and , northern affairs
department . and - the
provincial government.
Medical expenses that coat

health department in Ed-

But Snow sald the worst in-
sult occurred shortly before
the recent federal’ election
when the provicia! govern-
ment dipped into its billlon-
