A

VOICE

John

the

blockades

had
the

intent
as

In

they
are
a

method
of
bringing

everyones
attention
the
fact
that
they
have
a
grievance
which
should
be

Jensen
said
Sending

the
police
is
not
the
way
to
achieve
justice
He
said
use

only
helps
to
increase
the

SERIOUS
ECONOMIC
HARDSHIPS
Govt
will
remove
Indian
BCR
blockade
by
BILL
GRAHAM
Citizen
staff
reporter
The
government
has
announced
it
will
act
to
remove
a
blockade
of
the
BC
Railway
by
the
Stuart
Trembleur
Indian
band
The
government
cannot
continue
to
tolerate
the
serious
economic
hardships
caused
to
people
beyond
the
blockade
point
Alf
Nunweiler
minister
for
northern
affairs
said
in
a
statement
released
today
The
type
of
action
was
not
specified
but
at
a
press
confer
conference
¬
ence
Saturday
Nunweiler
left
no
doubt
of
the
governments
intention
to
remove
the
blockade
probably
this
week
or
next
He
said
the
BCR
directors
met
Friday
and
agreed
on
a
specific
course
of
action
I
cannot
release
details
at
this
time
but
developments
will
become
evident
shortly
said
Nunweiler
The
three-month-old
blockade
at
Tache
40
miles
northwest
of
Fort
St
James
has
closed
two
sawmills
and
drastically
affected
the
whole
economy
of
the
region
beyond
the
blockade
said
Nunweiler
The
band
blocked
the
line
April
28
to
emphasize
its
demand
of
7
million
and
a
three-for-one
land
exchange
for
damages
caused
by
the
railway
passing
through
seven
reserves
We
cant
wait
any
longer
we
have
to
find
a
solution
that
brings
prompt
results
It
just
cant
go
on
any
longer
Nun
Nunweiler
¬
weiler
said
at
the
press
conference
The
railway
will
have
to
move
because
the
problems
imposed
up
the
line
are
too
serious
Nunweiler
said
the
Indians
have
stubbornly
insisted
on
get-
sasffi-
ting
7
million
but
have
failed
to
explain
how
48
acres
of
land
the
amount
taken
by
the
BCR
could
be
worth
so
much
money
He
said
that
we
want
to
see
the
Stuart
Trembleur
band
get
a
fair
deal
but
7
million
for
48
acres
of
land
is
not
in
line
Nunweiler
reviewed
the
history
of
the
dispute
noting
that
in
the
summer
of
1973
band
chief
Harry
Pierre
indicated
a
desire
for
cash
settlement
in
five
figures
but
a
month
later
announced
the
demand
for
7
million
As
far
back
as
1969
the
band
agreed
to
the
clearing
and
survey
of
right-of-way
in
exchange
for
three
times
the
acreage
lost
and
the
railway
accepted
this
Nunweiler
said
even
agreeing
to
the
three-for-one
exchange
of
an
additional
300
acres
Nunweiler
said
that
until
two
years
ago
the
band
had
cause
for
complaint
but
since
then
serious
government
efforts
have

how
the

Nunweiler
said
he
invited
the
band
to
tour
the
line
with
him
to
point
out

but
the
offer
was
spurned
The

report
that
most
adverse

resulted
from

Nunweiler
was
asked
during
the
press
conference
whether
the
long
term
effects
of
northern
industrial
development
might
not
justify
the
bands
claim
for
losses
The
minister
replied
the
economic
development
package
would
be
considered
compensation
for
long
term
effects
on
the
bands
way
of
life
The
Takla

band
which
had
a
similar

with
the
BCR
further

has
settled
its
claim
Since
the
blockade
was
erected
in

April
the
government
has
tried
every
method
to
negotiate
with
the
Stuart
Trembleur
band
but
its
very
difficult
to
get
results
Nunweiler
said
The
band
has
become
more
determined
to
press
its
demand
for
7
million
cash
and
has
shown
an
increasing
tendency
to
refuse
to
provide
specific
evidence
to
justify
that
claim
Nunweiler
said
in

He
said
the

is
still
willing
