Indians and Eskimos claim vast tracts in Canada's northland
Indians, Eskimos in the Northwest Territories and Yukon press vast land claims across northern Canada. A 450000 square mile communal tract is asserted by about 7000 Northwest Indians, with 12000 Eskimos and 6000 Yukon Indians still defining extents. Claims touch oil sands, mineral rights, and potential pipelines, with court actions and new political movements forming to press settlements and governance of lands and royalties.
