[PEN-L:1218] Re: Labour and Aboriginals

		C. Phillips,


	This seems, finally, like something that begins to address the way
in which aboriginal peoples' movements might forward the cause of economic
justice.  It seems to me that, in Canada, the aboriginal movement has
begun to create a unifying thread among the left.  The green cause is
certainly allied with the native Canadian cause on things like Vancouver
Island logging, but I don't see a consistent position on property
developing.  It seems to me part of an appeal to the waning Canadian
welfare state in some cases and I'm not yet comfortable with how native
sovereignty movements play out in terms of political economy.
