Its no Surprise then that officials say its quickly becoming the no. 1 problem in the North. Super juice is made by combining Brewers yeast sugar and water and leaving the mixture to ferment for 48 hours. Without the yeast typically used for making Beer and wine and readily available without sales restrictions would be Brewers Are out of business. Controlling who has Access to the yeast is the Issue behind a contentious proposal to make it illegal for first nations people to buy Brewers yeast. Garden Hill first nation chief David Harper said alcohol has been banned from Island Lake first nations As far Back As you can remember. Its always been a dry Reserve. He said yeast has been banned from Island Lake first nations for about three years. If people want to bring in yeast for bread making they must make special arrangements. Island Lake ramp sgt. Dany Beland said police used to confiscate hundreds of bottles of liquor at Island Lake entry Points in the Early 1990s. This year they ave seen none. But they have seized a lot of yeast. A bag of yeast is much easier to bring in a Region like Here than it is to bring a bottle of whisky said Beland. The local band constables Here do a wonderful Job doing some Airport searches. They do search baggage and search people. Aboriginal and Northern affairs minister Eric Robinson said super juice is so potent it quickly turns addicts away from Beer. Super juice is becoming the no. 1 problem very quickly. Y Oung aboriginal leaders Are floating a request for a provincial Law based on racial profiling in a bid to Stem suicide and violence fuelled by Home brew in their communities. Its a request that has appalled human rights advocates who predict the Law will never pass. The Island Lake regional youth Council met with provincial Cabinet ministers in the fall and asked for a province wide Law prohibiting the Sale of Brewers yeast to All first nations people said Council member Saul Harper. The race based prohibition would Force Manitoba retailers to ask for identification and refuse first nations customers trying to buy Brewers yeast the main ingredient in a potent Home brew called super juice. Get the status cards being checked. The ones that Are first nations status cards they wont be allowed to serve them said Harper 31, who represents Wasag Amack first nation on the fou member Council. Fellow Council member Allison Mcdougall of red sucker Lake confirmed the Council favoured such a Law. But Council member Bobby Monias of Garden Hill a hons also the regional youth adviser for the Assembly of Manitoba chiefs said that while a Law targeting All first nations was discussed he recognizes the impossibility of the measure. Monias 28, said he wants a similar province wide Law targeted Only at Island Lake members. If we say we want to Stop All first nations were going to have a lot of conflict from other communities said Monias. Theress so Many first nations people All across Canada. We cant just say of you got a status you cant buy alcohol or anything whatsoever. Dianna Scarth executive director of the Manitoba human rights commission said a Law against Selling Brewers yeast to first nations people would not stand up. Under human rights legislation any kind of Public service that is denied on the basis of one of the protected characteristics and that would include ethnic origin and ancestry is Likely to be found discriminatory. Requiring retailers to make assumptions about what people will use a product for could also Lead to negative stereotyping Scarth said. Its denying something to a human being on the basis of their race said Damon Johnston president of the aboriginal Council of Winnipeg. Refusing to sell something to someone on the basis of race is not permissible. According to Harper for a Short time one Winnipeg retailer refused to sell Brewers yeast to people with first nations status cards and it helped. One place was asking for id. If they saw a first nations status card they serve them. Thatus what they did for three months. It kind of helped Over Here and it kind of stopped for three months. The manager of the Sargent Avenue Brewers direct a brewing Supply store with four locations in Winnipeg does not want to be put in a position where he might offend customers. When you get a person coming in am i going to Start asking everyone a hons buying the product Are you a first nations person said Sam who would not give his last name. He said his store has never asked for id in sales of Brewers yeast. The Island Lake regional youth Council blames super juice for increasing violence in their communities. Weave had so Many super juice related deaths i lost count said Monias. Super juice suicides super juice gang violence beatings. So Many other things and super juice was almost always a Factor in everything that happened. Eric Robinson minister of aboriginal and Northern affairs confirmed that the Law was discussed during the last provincial round table with Island Lake youth Council. Were obviously As concerned about the Issue As they Are and its caused a lot of grief in the communities. As to whether you can ban it or not legally i really dont know. Sean. Ledwich free press. My. Ca leaders brew up Law to fight super juice first nation plan to ban yeast sales has Legal hurdles by Sean Ledwich homemade booze becomes no. 1 problem Ruth Bonneville / Winnipeg free press super juice made from Brewers yeast is a major problem said Bobby Monias.
