The Musqueam Land Deal Discussed at ‘Forests and Oceans’
Posted by Tad McIlwraith on December 9th, 2007 filed in First Nations, Head Notes, History, Parks, Treaties, Vancouver
Charles Menzies has a thoughtful post about the disconnect between the public’s intellectual ability to accept aboriginal land and title rights and the emotional refusal to accept that the UBC Golf Course and part of a popular park could be returned to the Musequeam First Nation in a land settlement.
Charles asks specifically for responses to his post and this issue as he is considering a research project about the golf course issue. Please stop by and read his post and the offer a comment.
And, thanks Charles, for making available on your blog the audio of the speeches from today’s rally against the Musqueam land deal.
(Charles blogs at Forests & Oceans for the Future.)
