may decline if regulations
are too tight.

“The object of this whole
exercise is that we clearly
understand the problem and
see that any regulations are
realistic,’ he said.

As substitutes become

“They (Conservatives)
haven't dealt with natives
for 15 years and don't really
understand the politics in-
volyed,’’ Tagoona said.

The Tapirisat was formed
in 1973 and began preparing
an Inuit land clalm for
roughly 1.5 million square
miles of Canada above the
treeline, an area in whicn
17,000 non-Inuit also live.

Negotiations with the
federal government have
bogged down over Inuit

The federal government,
embroiled in land claim
negotiations with other
groups in the Yukon and
Mackenzie River Valley,

approved by Parliament

wrestle political concessions
from a new provincial
government intent on
building its own power base, _
Tagoona said.

The Inuit also want their
rights entrenched in the con-
stitution. They have not
signed treaties with the
federal] government and are
not protected as Indians are
by federal legislation.
