Fish charges said silly

TWO GITANYOW men have
been charged with breaking and
entering and illegally catching
and selling fish.

Glen Williams, former presi-
dent of the Gitanyow Office of
Hereditary Chiefs and Herbert

Russell, former executive director:

for the chiefs, were both charged
with one count of buying and
selling fish under Section 78 of
the Fisherics Act of Canada.

In addition, Williams was
charged with breaking into and
occupying a Department of
Fisheries and Oceans building at
the Meziadin Counting Fence.

Both Williams and Russell were
allegedly running a commercial
fishing operation ont of the
counting fence near Meziadin.

The area is a scientific station
for counting fish that spawn up
the stream.

The two also allegedly occupied
the government building located
near the counting fence.

All charges stem from activities
said to have occurred between
June and August 1993.

Williams acknowledges he and
Russell occupied a building on
site, but said it was a small cabin

built for public use. He claims the ~

DFO building where the govern-
ment officials worked was not
touched,

Williams also said he didn’t il-
legally catch or sell any fish from
the Meziadin counting fence.

He did say that he caught and
sold fish in the area, but only
afler ‘‘excellent communica-
tions’’ between himself and DFO
officials in Prince Rupert and O1-
tawa,

“We had excellent communica-
tion with the people from the

DFO on how any sale would hap-
pen at Meziadin,” Williams said.

He sald the charges are ‘‘politi-
cally motivated.”’

“Tt’s a dispute between the
Nisga’a Tribal Council and the
Gitanyow Hereditary Chicfs,”’
Williams said, ‘The government
doesn’t know how to handle it,’’

Williams called’ the charges
“‘silly,”’? adding ‘*The govern-
ment has no evidence that I sold

’ fish on the .Nass,’’ he said, “‘I

didn’t do anything wrong,’’

Williams stressed he had ex-
cellent . communication with
fisheries officials in Ottawa and
Prince Rupert all last summer.
“It’s a waste of time,’’ he said of
the court case.

A preliminary hearing is set for
Smithers provincial court in De-
cember, with @ trial expected to
commence in the spring of 1995,

Land title case on hold

AN OFFICIAL MOVE has been
made to adjourn the Deigamuukw
land claim case in the Supreme
Court of Canada.

“The decision was made and
the motion has been filed,”’ said
Herb George, speaker for the Of
fice of the Wel’suwet’en
Hereditary Chiefs.

That effectively puts the na-
lives’ decade-long land title ac-
tion on hold for at least a year,
while they and the province nego-
tiate under the B.C. Treaty Com-
mission. °

The federal government has yet
to add its signature to the process,
which could be extended to a
maximum 18 months = if
“significant progress’? is not
Teached within the year.

Meanwhile, the Gitksan and
Wet’suwet’?en were busy last

After a day-long meeting the
Gitksan appointed five individu-
als to negotiate on their behalf,
said Gitksan and Wet’suwet’en
Watershed Authority spokesper-
son Don Ryan.

The negotiators are: James
Angus, Ardythe Wilson, Neil J.
Stertitt, Elmer Dertik, and Ray
Jones.

The Wet’suwel’en have also
been meeting but their appoint-
ments will probably come this
week, spokesperson Larry Joseph
said,

Under the Accord of Recogni-
tion and Respect signed June 13
with the provincial government,
the Gitksan and Wet’suwet’en are
pursuing separate treaty negotia-
tions.

“We'll probably have different
plans (than the Gitksan) and we'll

have our own table,”’ Joseph said.

““How we organize ourselves
hasn't been decided,”’

The intent of the Accord is to
begin tri-laicral negotiations, in-
cluding both the provincial and
federal governments.

Once all the negotiating teams
are in place the following matters
will be up for discussion:

@ the co-existence of Gitksan
and Wet’suwet’en and Crown
rights within traditional territories

@ economic initiatives — in-
cluding specific financial initia-
tives that will increase native par-
ticipation in local economies

@ jurisdictional arrangements,

@ resource use ~— including
land rehabilitation and protection,
and,

@ improvements in social,

health, education, justice and.
community services.
