The article mentions that the island is used by First Nations people for deer hunting. Does anyone have any recent examples of this? I have lived here for 11 years, and while I *used* to see deer hunters from time to time (none of them First Nations, as far as I could tell), that was long ago. The municipality currently restricts hunting to licenced bow hunters only, and as far as I know there have been no recent licences issued. Should we perhaps change "is used" to "was used in the past"? Local sentiment (apart from annoyed gardeners) is pretty much against hunting on Bowen, I suspect.
Hi...Chris Corrigan here. I personally know of Musqueam hunters who hunt in Apodaca Park (and who access the land by boat) and I know of other very recent uses of the land by Squamish hunters. this is important becasue First Nations people are allowed to hunt in Provincial Parks, and the current use is in line with contemporary Aboriginal rights and title.
There should be more about Bowen Island as it is now, and not all about it's history.Canadianshoper 04:40, 30 June 2006 (UTC)
