Tribe wants Canada to account for billions By RUDY PLATIEL Toronto Globe and Moil BRANTFORD, Ontario - Lodged in stacks of records and the memory banks of several computers in a modest office on the Six Nations Indian Reserve is a potential financial time bomb for the Canadian government. The Six Nations is asking the Ontario Court's General-Division for an accounting of money — it would now be billions of dollars, including interest — from the sale of a large swath of land that takes in the urban core of Kitch- ener, Brantford and Cambridge, Ontario. The land was granted in 1784 to the Six Nations, British allies in the American War of In- dependence, as compensation for the loss of their land in New York State. While there are hundreds of Indian claims filed in Canada, what sets this one apart is the sheer size of the financial im- plications for Canada's federal government, even if the courts find only partly against the gov- ernment. The issue centers not on aboriginal rights, but basic law — the legal obligation of any trustee to safeguard and properly account for a client's assets. A spokeswoman for Indian Af- fairs Minister Ron Irwin said the minister cannot comment on details of the case because it's in the court. But sums in excess of $35 billion have been mentioned, she said. No figures released Six Nations officials don't even want to talk about how much they're seeking. Phil Monture, the research director who has been probing the claim for 20 years, refused to estimate what is owed or how much the government has offered the natives to settle the claim. \All we have asked for is a full accounting as they (the gov- ernment) are the lawful trustee,\ he said. But some figures are on the record of a parliamentary com- mittee where a Six Nations dele- gation went in 1991 to complain that the Oka crisis illustrated a failed Canadian claims policy. The delegation's brief said there were unexplained withdrawals from their trust fund. Just the amount the research indicates was withdrawn for \the Montreal Roads,\ the Law Socie- ty of Upper Canada, construction at McGill University, fraud by a senior bureaucrat .and un- compensated land taken for the Welland Canal would', with in- terest, surpass $57.4 billion — more than double Canada's an- nual deficit. Several claims In December, after fruitless negotiations, the issue sank into the maw of legal litigation that will probably consume years of effort. The claim is actually a series of different claims, the first one filed in January 1982. .. A total of 25 separate claims — each dealing with different issues — have been, filed, but Six Nations is seeking to have them all dealt with as a single claim, Monture said. Several of the 25 have been ac- cepted as valid for negotiations, but talks foundered after Ottawa simply refused to offer \more than a few cents on the dollar,\ he said. \We tried to resolve this through negotiations. They just say, 'You're right, big deal, here is our offer, take it or leave it,\' he said. \When we said we can't accept that, they just said, 'File closed. Another claim dealt with in Canada.'\ The claim differs significantly from the \comprehensive\ cate- gory of claims, such as those be- ing negotiated in British Colum- bia on the basis of aboriginal ter- ritorial rights. It falls into a second category — specific claims — which deal with improper disposal of Indian land or maladminstration or fraud of Indian money. These are normally among the most easily resolved. More than 142 specific claims have already been settled since 1973, usually with Indian leaders shaking the hands of smiling government officials who are turning over a check for a couple of million dollars. Responsibility clear The Supreme Court of Canada unequivocally set out Ottawa's \fiduciary duty\ for proper trust- ee management of Indian assets in a 1984 ruling for the Mus- queam band in British Columbia. The court awarded the Indians $7 million because federal bu- reaucrats leased Indian land to a country club for a relative pit- tance and then hid details from the band. The court said it \amounted to equitable fraud.\ Norman Zlotkin, a professor of law at the University of Saskat- chewan, said that, with the Mus- queam precedent, \it's quite basic . . . that Canada should have to give an accounting of the money.\ Part of the Six Nations claim is based on not having received money for land the band authorized to be sold, while in other cases major blocks of land were sold without any vote. Also at issue is the handling of the Indians' trust money. Mismanagement alleged The cases cited range from an acknowledged fraud by a senior Indian Affairs official in the early 1800s to government insistance beginning in the 1830s on in- vesting Six Nations' land and money — over Indian objections — in a nearly bankrupt trans- portation company that other in- vestors were already fleeing. There's even an issue of money the Indians say found its way into construction of a McGill University building, while other money simply went to general government use. Still other land was taken without compensation for the Welland Canal between 1829 and 1835, the claim maintains. Paul Williams, a lawyer who has handled'more than 100 In- dian land-claims cases and is familiar with the Six Nations claim but not involved, said that with the interest meter ticking, the problem for the Indians is political reality. \At what point does it become politically impossible to pay it?\ Williams said. Compromise needed The solution for both sides is to negotiate some continuing fi- nancial arrangement, an in- creased land base, \viable in- tergovernmental relations and a viable economic base,\ he said. \That is the long-term goal, and the land claim ends up as the currency to acquire it,\ he said. Asking the court to enforce an accounting instead of demanding money was a good strategy, he said. \If you ask for $20 billion, then the court will panic. If you make it clear that what follows the accounting — if money is missing — is the opening of rea- sonable negotiations, then the court isn't going to be nearly as worried, and therefore not as hesitant to make a fair decision,\ Williams said. Six Nations leaders have long complained that they had been cheated out of vast sums from the disposal of most of the land granted in 1784 by Gov. Frederick Haldimand on behalf of the British. The tract covered six miles on each side of the Grand River from Lake Erie to the river's source, about 950,000 acres. Land could be sold to non- native people only by a surrender vote and sale through the British and later Canadian governments, which controlled the band's trust fund. Over the years, Six Nations members voted to sell land. The money was to go into the band's trust account. \It was to create a continual source of income for our perpetu- al care' and maintenance,\ Mon- ture said. But much of the money simply disappeared, either never show- ing up in the account or being withdrawn for other purposes, he said. As of February, the band's trust fund had $1.54 million.
