By DONNA VALLIERES

CANADA NORTH NOW,
Farley Mowat’s latest
Arctic expose, is an alarming
message to southern
Canadians who have virtually
no knowledge of the vast lands
that lie to the north,

Subtitled ‘*The Great
Betrayal,’? Mowat’s book is an
attempt to inform southerners
of the incredible exploitation
of the northern resources and
the destruction to the lifestyle
of the native peoples and
extinction of life-sustaining
plants and animals.

This is a detailed book with
facts and figures about the
history and geography of the

north. Sometimes heavy
reading CANADA NORTH
NOW is a resource book of

information about every aspect
of the complex © situation.
Although it takes some
patience to wade through the
lengthy explanations
mountain ranges, rivers, tree
lines and the like, the specifics
are necessary as background to
the understanding the effect
“northern development’’ has
on the peoples and the land in
Canada’s North.

“Northern development,”’
Mowat says, is a cuphamism
designed to disguise the true
intentions of multi-national
companies who are ravishing
the land out of greed, to the

detrement, of course, of the
native peoples.
Southern Canadians are

being told they will benefit
from the exploitation of the
North, but in truth, Canada’s
return from the plunder of the
land is very small.

“The long-term reward,’’
Mowat warns, ‘‘will be a
ruined and devastated land.”’

The multi-national com-
panies responsible for the rape
of the land and the disruption
of the native peoples have the
blessings of both the federal
and some provincial gover-
nments, Mowat accuses.
Referring to ‘‘the single most
devastatingly destructive and
iniquitous enterprise yet
undertaken in the North,’
Mowat points to the Quebec
government of Premier Robert
Bourassa which has un-
dertaken: a damming project
which will flood ten of
thousands of square miles of
ancestral hunting and trapping
grounds of the James Bay Cree
Indians.

The government, while
granting its blessings on the
wholescale theft of Northern
resources, has failed to provide
viable alternatives to Indians
and Eskimos who are forced to
live off welfare because of the
disruption of their means of
livlihoods,

The = destruction of the
cariboo and the prairie buffalo
and the serious depletion of
trapping animals have forced
native peoples to settle in
communities where there is no
chance of living off the land
and no opportunity for paid
employment,

“The many and varied
peoples of the deer across the
breadth oof this northern

they live mainly on relief.”’

shacks at Eskimo

Nor has the emerging at-

tempt to negotiate land claims
with the government met with
any
peoples. Mowat states that the
new treaties may accomplish
exactly what the treaties of
long ago did, and that is to
herd Indians and Eskimos into
reservations where they can
neither retain their own culture

success for the native

nor effectively integrate with

the white society.

The Island Indoor Tennis
Club) Winter Championships
were completed recently with
Club) Professional Tan Brady
winning the triple crown of
Mens Singles, Men’s Doubles

and = Mixed Doubles from
tough competition.

The men’s singles  semi-
finals matched No. 2. seed,
Roger Skillings against” fast
improving No. 3 seed Rusty

Hartley, and ist) seed Jan
Brady against No. 4 seed, Scott
Braley. Skillings, greatly
improved from a tennis year in
U.S.A. flawlessly dispensed
with Hartley 6-2, 6-1, while
Brady overpowered Braley 6-1,
6-1. The final although ex-
pected to be a close battle
between Brady and Skillings,
(two players in the top 15 in
B.C.) resulted in acomfortable
straight set victory for Brady 6-
1, 6-3, for the second time in
head to head = match-ups.
Brady’s combination = of
percentage power tennis with
sound tactical and positional
play were the decisive factors
inthe win.

The men’s doubles final
matchup between the locally
unbeaten and highly — per-
formed Ist seeded combination
of Skillings and Ernie
Cockayne and first time
tournament combination of
Brady and Rusty Hartley,
produced intense competition
and high calibre play with
Brady and Hartley winning in
a lough straight set win 7-5 :6-
3,

The tournament calibre in
the Ladies A was the years
Highest since the Last Chance
Open, with) Wendy Barlow
battling through Jennifer
Bland in an excellent semi-
final, 6-2: 6-4. Barlow then
repealed her winning per-
formance ina straight set final
avainst Nina Bland.

CANADA NORTH NOW is
a must for every Canadian who
is concerned about the country
wecall home,

1977,

alarmed at what wildeat
drilling for gas and oil under
the ice and on the ocean floor
could do,

Risks are great, Mowat says,
and in the event of an accident,
plant and animal life will be
destroyed by the lethal sub-
stances escaping into the
water. Scientists still do not
know the outcome of an
oilspill or a blowout when
drilling underwater, but
Mowat predicts the disaster
could persist for years to come,

In the final week before the
decision whether to build the
Mackenzie Valley pipeline is
made, Mowat has some very
thought provoking things to
say on the effect of a pipeline
on the social, cultural and
economic issues of the North.

Mowat writes with style and
wisdon of the peoples and the
land of the North,

“Southern Canadians and
Northern Canadians alike are
being swindled and robbed.”
he writes.
