The Ottawa Citizen, Saturday, November 27, 1993 A5 CANADA NATIVE AFFAIRS Report urges swiff move for Davis Inlet Innu 7 fitful I "S2E3SSF periods in Davis Inlet since 1966, when he first visited to do anthropological fieldwork. The federal government and Newfoundland would share the cost of re-establishing the community at its new location, a task that could cost millions. But Henriksen concluded that Sango Bay would give the Innu better access to hunting, and help them regain "their social and psychological health, and their collective identity and self-esteem." Although he doesn't necessarily oppose an Innu move, Wells has been skeptical about Sango Bay, saying it would only shift Davis Inlet's problems to a new location without dealing with their causes. But Henriksen dismisses Wells's suggestions that the Innu consider other locations like Schefferville, noting the Innu lack the skills to compete for jobs in non-native communities. Earlier this year, six Davis Inlet Innu youths were found high after sniffing gasoline.

Attempted suicide remains a problem in Davis Inlet, where several youths have reportedly tried to shoot themselves. The premier, briefed on the Oct. 22 report by Henriksen several weeks ago, dismissed his conclusions Friday. Wells accused Henriksen of overstepping his mandate, noting he was asked to report on economic opportunities for the Innu but instead ventured into another area. By Ian Bailey The Canadian Press ST.

JOHN'S, Nfld. Newfoundland should act swiftly to help the Davis Inlet Innu move their community to the mainland site of their choice, says a report commissioned by the province. A Norwegian anthropologist, considered an Innu expert, says in the study that helping the 500 residents move would ease social problems, including suicide attempts. The report, commissioned by the province's Economic Recovery Commission and prepared in secret, counters Premier Clyde Wells's reluctance to moving the island community to the Innu's preferred site of Sango Bay. Wells allowed the study to be released Friday after questions about its contents.

Better relations with the Innu on various issues would improve the province's image, says Georg Henriksen of the University of Bergen. "If the government would create a relationship of trust with the Innu, and also contribute to the healing and restoration of Innu society and culture, this could enhance the province's image. "The government should carry the greatest responsibility to create this trust, since it is by far the most powerful agent in its relationship with the Innu."

(CP) A native band has won a moral and financial victory in its 35-year struggle for compensation from Ontario Hydro for land flooded by two hydroelectric dams.

At a small ceremony on the Whitedog reserve, 50 kilometres northwest of Kenora, Ontario Hydro's chief executive officer Maurice Strong formally apologized Wednesday to the Wabaseemoong First Nation for uprooting the community of One Man Lake and flooding the cemetery there in 1957. i "The cemetery at One Man Lake istands as a painful reminder of loved ones whose graves we desecrated; and a shameful reminder of Ontario Hydro's disrespect toward the people who lived there and were buried there," said Strong. "We apologize to the people of Wabaseemoong for our failure to respect your dignity and your rights." While Hydro officials would not elaborate on the financial settlement, band members said an agreement has been signed calling for the provincial utility to pay the band $4 million. Whitedog Chief Eric Fisher said the agreement "satisfies the unresolved issues between Ontario Hydro and ourselves that were never fully addressed in earlier negotiations." Under an agreement signed in 1987, Wabaseemoong received $1.5 million from the utility and 17 square kilometres of land. Natives call for inquiry into deaths THUNDER BAY, Ont.

(CP) Area natives, armed with a 3.000-signature petition, are demanding a federal inquiry into what they say are 18 unsolved deaths of aboriginal people in this northwestern Ontario city. "We will not as a community stop until the perpetrators are brought to justice," Philip Edw ards. a member of the city police services board, said Thursday. "Our lives as natives are worth as much as anyone's life." A city police spokesperson has said there have been four unsolved murders of native people during the last 10 years. Police have ruled most of the cases Edwards refers to as "unexplained deaths." But Joe Major, a member of the group calling itself the Grassroots Committee on Native Unsolved Murders, said those deaths include that of a native woman found with her face bashed in at the foot of a stairwell.

Major said the cases would have been handled somewhat differently if the victims were the daughters of the city's police chief. "There would not be a stone unturned," he said. The group wants public hearings headed by a judge appointed by federal Justice Minister Allan Rock. A federal judge would have the power to subpoena police reports and witnesses in the cases.
