Since the Vickers decision (Nov 22,2007) Treaty negotiations will likely cease as Aboriginal Title has been recognized throughout BC. BC is not in the same
position as the rest of the country because the feds rushed into purchasing BC from people who were not the land owners. It's like buying a car from
someone and the cops come and charge you for being in posession of a stolen vehicle. Same principles only the cops took a long time tracking down the
stolen vehicle.

While true.  But the origional owner will need to proof he/she owns the vehicle through purchasing/trade... and it all comes down to registry and having a legal system that justify such claim.  When there is no such system in place, who gets what?  How is it's ownership kept track?

Fn's history is an oral history and that can be proven in a court of law. There have been arceological digs that have proven the exhistance of aboriginals for thousands of years and as well written history of early exploreres here in the 1700's. You can't sell something that's not yours. It's like walking on the vedder in october ,taking everyone's fishing rods and selling them. No one has any papers for that but they know it's there's.

Remember the term"First nations"!

There will be a scientific mortality test done on the Fraser this coming year, to address the question of Sockeye catch and release mortality.
There are at present NO stats. on this. All the stats are from ocean fishing.



15 % i don't think is accurate for all species.

 sockeye alone is about 40% mortality you would think that most guys would get there two and go home, but no they sit there all day and will tell everyone "i got 50 today" :P it's a shame that these people don't understand that 20 of those fish will die. that really gets under my skin. >:(
This is one of reasons why I believe you will no longer see a sockeye opening on the Fraser River for the recreational sector.
