Allmand who summoned the entire Council Here for a. Special meeting offered to appoint a special representative to consult full time with Council on future political development. Council a body of 15 elected persons has refused to approve the territorial govern ment s budget for fiscal 1977-78 until Ottawa agrees to a Public inquiry. The government needs the Money for april 1. Council speaker David Searle told a news conference that Allmand said appoint ment of the special represent resource profits eyed Ottawa up an Indi an government in the North would control profits earned by resource industries the president of the Indian brotherhood of the Northwest territories said Friday. George Erasmus testifying before the National Energy Board s Northern pipeline hearings said his people see income from resource development As a source of funds to build other renewable industries such As logging. Or a commercial fishery. Taking mining As an exam ple Erasmus said a company would be allowed to cover expenses and earn a set profit of about 15 per cent. The rest of the Money would go to the the Indian word for people. He told the hearing the Dene who have Laid claim to news quiz answers part i a Trudeau 43 per to teat 3-e part 11 1-e a a 3-a 4-c so part i 14 4-b act Mcafe tie land of the Mackenzie River Valley want time to develop the kind of Economy we can control before any pipeline is built. Both Foothills pipe lines Ltd. And Canadian Arctic Gas pipeline Ltd. Propose lines through the Valley. We Don t want that pipe line we absolutely Don t want that he told the hearing. We could t survive the he estimated it would be 10 to 15 years after settlement of the land claims before the native people would be ready to consider a pipeline or any other huge development in the North. Erasmus said the extrac Tion of from the North has brought great Bene fits to the companies but Little to the Dene. Even in trap Ping the people get Only about five per cent of the value of a fur. T h e Dene also worried about companies coming in to develop the lands with the native Peoples having no control Over their activities. A Pip Elim without some control by the Dene would de stroy them a people. Eras mus said. This is cultural genocide which Means to destroy a people Short of physically shooting or gassing them. It does t matter if it was t intended that we be destroyed. Good intentions Are not he said the Dene want to reverse the process of colonization that started with the arrival of White men in the Valley who gradually took Over the reins of Power. Erasmus agreed with arc tic Gas lawyer John Marshall that the schooling received by Many Young indians has left them without the skills needed to live off the land. But he added that they also cannot get wage paying jobs in the North. What we have Are people who Are caught Between Cul Tures. A lot of Young Dene Are in that position the brotherhood president rejected suggestions that the Dene position had been drawn up by a relatively few indians with the Aid of White advisers from the South. He said it had been prepared in Community meeting after Community Active would achieve the same thing As a Public inquiry Only it would be faster. The offer left councillors thinking Searle said they would meet alone to discuss their next move. Rejecting aumand s offer would mean carrying through the threat not to approve the budget before april 1. Searle likened this to shooting one s own horse Between the eyes but indicated it might have to be done. At the heart of the problem is native land claims. Ottawa has financed native groups heavily to research and negotiate settlements. The two major native groups the Mackenzie Valley Dene and the inuit both have submit Ted claims that would split the . And leave the two sections under native govern ments. If this happened the . Legislative Council would disappear. Searle said Council believes that it not the native associations represents the people of the . Prof to head pipeline probe Ottawa up Andrew 11.

An Environ ment spokesman said it is still under consideration. Thought was being Given to financing Public in Terest groups so they la be Able to make presentations to the Thompson inquiry. Thompson is considered by environmental and conserva Tion groups As a Good Choice for the Job because he has a Strong knowledge of both the o i 1 Industry and Environ mental concerns. Sport minister Lona Campagnolo who represents the . Riding of Skeena which contains both Kitimat and a growing coalition of groups opposed to the project said she is quite pleased with the appointment. He s probably the Best person we could get for the Job. What we do in .
