Winnipeg Free Press (Newspaper) - September 17, 1998, Winnipeg, Manitoba Try it t if Witt Metis Don t qualify for the same Hunting rights As other aboriginals Brandon police say beware of funny Money by Leah Janzen Law courts reporter Manitoba s Metis people Aren t indians and therefore Don t qualify for the same Hunting and fishing rights As other aboriginal people a court has ruled. In a judgment released yesterday court of Queen s Bench Justice Scott Wright upheld a lower court conviction against Ernest Lionel Joseph Blais who was charged in 1996 with Hunting big game out of season. I have concluded the Metis As a people were separate and distinct from indians wrote Wright in his decision. I have also accepted that the Metis could have aboriginal rights relating. To Hunting trapping and fishing. However i am satisfied any such rights were extinguished Long before 1930." according to the natural resources Transfer act of 1930, indians have the right of Hunting trapping and fishing game for food at All seasons of the year on All unoccupied Crown but Wright noted the authors of the Nita recognized Metis people As being different and purposely did not include them. I think it is reasonable to assume the Nita. Was not intended to include Metis he wrote. Manitoba Metis federation president David Chartrand said his organization will continue to fight for Hunting and fishing rights and added he expects a Case like Blais will eventually make its Way to the supreme court of Canada for a final ruling. This will not go away he said yesterday. We believe we have a constitutional right to Hunt and fish out of season like any other aboriginal Chartrand said the Case boils Down to a matter of definition. He said Metis have historically been considered As indians and just because the two groups have become More distinct from each other in recent times does t mean the Hunting rights Don t exist. Chartrand said while the emf will continue to Battle similar cases in court he would prefer to negotiate a plan with the department of natural resources to establish an agreement that would be fair and acceptable to both sides. He said he would like to see a co management system in place whereby rules would be established around How much Hunting the Metis could do and where so game and fish stocks would t be depleted. But he added if an agreement in t set in place and if the supreme court eventually rules in favour of the Metis it will be too late to negotiate. If we win in court there won t be time for talking he said. I won t be Able to put rules in place after the fact. I want to sit Down now and set up rules and Laws jointly with the province to ensure the sustainability of Hunting for the Brando nites should watch for counterfeit $10 and $5 Bills being passed in the Community.
