This Indian leader is a lawyer and long time advocate for settlement of Native land claims in B.C. He says Indians want a share in natural resources benefits.  He says they will also be very cautious in making alliances with white environmentalists who suggest that environmental and Indian objectives are the same.  He cites the current anti-trapping campaigns as being examples since most trappers in Canada are Native.
