"Goose Bay, Labrador - The Innu won't enter land negotiations until Ottawa changes its arrogant land claims policy, native leaders have told Indian Affairs Minister Pierre Cadieux. ... They told him that unless the federal government treats the Indians as the first owners of the land, which includes much of Labrador, negotiations would be pointless. ... Ottawa owes the Innu $5 billion for five years' use of their resources he (Peter Peneshue) added. ... A $6 million environmental assessment of military flying activities will be completed this summer but without Innu co-operation." ...The Toronto Star, Thursday June 22, 1989
