2C THE CHILLIWACK PROGRESS, Wednesday, May 9, 1979 3 Lucier Ground lost, says UNN spokesman LUCICY Dollar Dollar VEDDER GROCERY MART ONLY 1 W-JT WT 0 Indian organizations are given money from the government to run their organizations, Mr. Maracle said, but the money would be better spend on individual projects. The Indian people are willing to negotiate an agreement regarding land claims, he said. "That in itself is a concession and a compromise. It's always our people that have made the compromise and have paid the price." Mr.

Maracle suggested the Indians should be given greater power in self-government and control of resources. "Indians never used to be at the bottom of the totem pole," he concluded, giving an illustration of a northern coastal community that greeted a royal commission last century with a brass band and red uniforms. Indian people are "losing ground" in British Columbia, ac-" cording to the vice-president of the United Native Nations. Brian Maracle of Vancouver spoke to the social planning committee of Chilliwack Community Services last Wednesday. He noted government legislation and policies have resulted in a lack of progress in the land claims issue.

He added that since the Berger report was released on the Mackenzie Valley pipeline, there has been little done. In the past, Mr. Maracle continued, Indians have only talked among themselves and have not spoken up for their rights. Twenty years ago, Indian children would have spoken a native language when they started school. Now they all speak English and are not learning the Indian languages.
