Guest Editorial

“Matter. of concern.

Early this year SPEC Smithers produced a brief entitled “A
‘Matter of Concern”. The matter.of concern was the proposition
‘by Bulkley Valley Forest Industries Lis. to build a kraft pulp
mill at Houston, B.C. with the resulting contamination of the
,environment. The brief explained in: detail the reasons -that
SPEC and SPEC. supporters were so ‘concerned and distributed
‘about 3,000 copies of the brief at their or expense. Reactions to
the brief. were varied. SPEC was accused: of being against
development or. ‘progress’, of being destructively critical of
B.V.F.1’s plans, although they were not informed of the details
of these plans, The brief also received many complimentary

accused SPEC of being ignorant of thé true stale of.affairs. He
did not, and:probably could not, point out where the brief was at

The survey. team has, a major,
obstacle lo overcome: * ~ :

__ Many’ non-status Indians are,
“apprehensive” about :both the ©
organization‘and its goals.-

“Previously Indians have had
-to deal with the Indian Affars
Department but we. deal with
the.community itself," he said,

However the organization has
expanded from a ‘handful of
people to an estimated: 3,000
over a three year period, “

“There are 24 established |
locals of the association spread
throughout the province with
about the same number ‘in the
embryo stage-at present.

ILis looking towards‘a goal of
full. members ‘by
November when the group will
holdits third annual convention

_ in Vancouver.

“There is a resurgence of
Indian. pride--particularly
‘among the young people,”’
Brooks said.

“The old society’s negative
atlitude, has ‘changed .and —is
continuing {0 change in beth
\ nalive and white society,”...
° An example of the change is”

the ‘prominence of Indian dress
->, in the fashion world, he said.

‘The * survey ‘team: ‘will - be:

“ compiling informaiton, and.

_ Setting up a local chapter of the. «
_association in Terrace :

They. will centre their
aclivilies at Lion’s “Park. in
‘Thornhill and any individual

“One: ‘of British Columbia’ S: largest ‘real’ estate’:

“eompanies., Block Brothers of Vancouver, ‘will’

Terrace. .
- The proposed centre will constructed ona site «

between the. Tillicum Theatre on Lakelse Avenue —

and the Home Oil service station on Eby. It will
stretch-from: Lakelse Avenue to Lazelle Avenue, —
Although details are sketchy at ‘press time the
Herald has learned that the property the complex
will be constructed upon. is currently zoned. .-
residential and possible rezoning to. commercial
will occur at tonight's Municipal: Council meeting. ©
It is believed that negotiations for the project .

occurred when Mayor Victor Jolliffe’ and clerk-

administrator Jack Hardy Nisited”: Vancouver

recently.

The property is currently ‘owned by Raymond

Skoglund. °
