The Williams Treaty

How do you feel about hunting and fishing rights? Are you informed? Should we be striving as a community to incorporate this natural way of surviving into our lifestyles?

Should it be a priority to preserve this? http://www.canadiana.org/citm/themes/aboriginals/aboriginals11_e.htmlhttp://www3.sympatico.ca/dshaule/williams.htmhttp://www.ainc-inac.gc.ca/al/hts/tgu/pubs/Twil/traw-eng.asphttp://www.accessandprivacy.gov.on.ca/english/order/prov/p-979.html
