No good can come from these discussions here.

Being behind a keyboard people tend to make thier inside voice an outside voice more often.

I've got strong feelings on the topic myself.

Until laws change or are modified, there will continue to be conflict with natives vs. non-natives. Don't see that being resolved in my generation.

So, rather than get heartburn over issues that are likely never to go away, I find it better on my health to just avoid these threads.

Just curious... Can a treaty Indian hunt with a rifle in a area that let's say is only archery in October but rifle in November ? Could he use a rifle in October ?

Sure can....can use a rifle anytime.

Actually a funny story....I was out hunting with my bow in early September near Whitecourt one trip years ago when I came up on a guy on a quad with a rifle...

We were chit chatting a bit and he said, bit of a role reversal hey...I said how so?

He said, "white skin man with a bow and red skin man with a rifle..." we had a chuckle and went about our business.

Dont wan to stir pot, but 2 questions I have and dont know where to find legal documentation on such:
1) Can a non native or non status indian accompany or assist natives on a hunt?
2) Can natives give meat to a non status individual?

Had the same thing happen to us this fall. We arrived at the head of the trail early one morning, putting our packs on and had our long bows leaning against the truck. Two gents from the local reserve roll up and laugh at the long bows and said, "do you really expect to kill an Elk with those things", they were in a side by side with their rifles.......I shot a nice 6x6 and when we rolled out of camp their meat pole was still empty.

Tell your wife to read this, http://srd.alberta.ca/FishWildlife/F...ns-Jul2009.pdf
I wish more people would read this, if they are so concerned about native hunting rights

It's news to me that a non native can't hunt with a status Indian. I've been doing it my whole life, fish n wildlife never said a thing and there are a few time a year we run into them. They check tags and stuff from my friends and I show them my status card. So not sure where you guys are getting that from? I know in sask you can't though.

Not positive, but I think he might have meant if the white guy had no tags or license maybe? In that case there would be some hot water I think.

Yes I am treaty and I do exercise my rights. I'm not ashamed of it either. It still shocks me that this day and age this crap still goes on that people need to bash aboriginal people. Yah it does go both ways but more times then not it's going towards my people. Somebody puts up a poaching thread and automatically "must be a native" I do know natives that poach, would I ever do it? Of course not, I enjoy the actual hunt just as much if not more then the animal taken. I also know a lot more non-aborignal people that do in fact poach. It would be funny if you knew how many people wanted me to take an animal the taxidermist for them, or bring me along in case we see a moose..


My father isn't into hunting and I was taken under the wing of my friends family when it came to hunting. They are a Caucasian family and growing up hunting with these fine folks, having great trips hunting and learning the ropes brought me up in a different light of this topic. Joining this site a few years ago really opened up my eyes as to how many people dislike aboriginal hunting. I couldn't believe it.

Funny thing, I was down elk hunting south of suffield base a month ago and I got permission to hunt on a farmers land. He gladly gave me permission even knowing my background, really nice folks down that way may I add. I was successful in harvesting an elk. When he showed up to see what I got he told me I should have taken 2 or 3. I laughed and said "you don't hear that everyday." Then told him 1 is sufficient for me. There isn't really a point to this story, just wanted to share how different some peoples views are on the whole topic.

Anyway that's enough rambling for now.
Great post, you should never be ashamed of your heritage, exercise your rights to hunt and do so without any concern for those who sneer, the world is full of those who are just plain ignorant, intolerant. Thank you for sharing this story, it's important we all support your unique status. It is what it is, it's not going to change, nor should it. Your right to hunt and fish were enshrined by our forefathers both yours and mine. I don't have any problems with that at all.

When I was younger I would wear moccasins all the time and my Indian buddy's were wearing cowboy boots. It was always good for a laugh when we ran into each other.
