Cats are considered as “perfect

Kansas who disappeared three weeks shy of her 40 th
birthday, still grips the public imagination. Her
disappearance has been the subject of at least fifty
books, countless magazine and newspaper articles,
and TV documentaries. It is seen by journalists as the
last great American mystery. There are currently two
main theories about Amelia Earhart's fate.

There were reports of distress calls from the Phoenix

Islands made on Earhart's radio frequency for days
after she vanished. Some say the plane could have
broadcast only if it were on land, not in the water.
The Coast Guard and later the Navy, believing the
distress calls were real, adjusted their searches, and
newspapers at the time reported Earhart and her
navigator were marooned on an island. No-one was
able to trace the calls at the time, so whether Earhart
was on land in the Phoenix Islands or there was a
hoaxer in the Phoenix Islands using her radio remains
a mystery. Others dismiss the radio calls as bogus and
insist Earhart and her navigator ditched in the water.
An Earhart researcher, Elgen Long, claims that
Earhart's airplane ran out of gas within fifty-two miles
of the island and is sitting somewhere in a 6,000-
square-mile area, at a depth of 17,000 feet. At that
depth, the fuselage would still be in shiny, pristine
condition if ever anyone were able to locate it. It
would not even be covered in a layer of silt. Those
who subscribe to this explanation claim that fuel
calculations, radio calls and other considerations all
show that the plane plunged into the sea somewhere
off Howland Island.

Whatever the explanation, the prospect of finding the

remains is unsettling to many. To recover skeletal
remains or personal effects would be a grisly
experience and an intrusion. They want to know
where Amelia Earhart is, but that's as far as they
would like to go. As one investigator has put it, "I'm
convinced that the mystery is part of what keeps us
interested. In part, we remember her because she's
our favourite missing person."

conceived rights. For example, while it might appear Tidak disebutkan boleh untuk

indigenous customs, the exact legal meaning of
“indigenous” is extremely difficult to interpret. The
intent of the constitutional protection is to
recognize only long-standing traditional customs,
not those of recent origin; provincial courts
therefore require aboriginal peoples to provide
 legal documentation that any customs they seek to
protect were practiced sufficiently long ago—a
criterion defined in practice to mean prior to the
establishment of British sovereignty over the
specific territory. However, this requirement makes
it difficult for aboriginal societies, which often relied
on oral tradition rather than written records, to
support their claims.

Furthermore, even if aboriginal peoples are

successful in convincing the courts that specific
rights should be recognized, it is frequently difficult
to determine exactly what these rights amount to.
Consider aboriginal land claims. Even when
aboriginal ownership of specific lands is fully
established, there remains the problem of
interpreting the meaning of that “ownership.” In a
1984 case in Ontario, an aboriginal group claimed
that its property rights should be interpreted as
full ownership in the contemporary sense of private
property, which allows for the sale of the land or its
resources. But the provincial court instead ruled
that the law had previously recognized only the
aboriginal right to use the land and therefore
granted property rights so minimal as to allow only
the bare survival of the community. Here, the
provincial court’s ruling was excessively
conservative in its assessment of the current law.
Regrettably, it appears that this group will not be
successful unless it is able to move its case from
the provincial courts into the Supreme Court of
Canada, which will be, one hopes, more insistent
upon a satisfactory application of the
constitutional reforms.

Furthermore, even if aboriginal peoples are

successful in convincing the courts that specific
rights should be recognized, it is frequently difficult
to determine exactly what these rights amount to.
Consider aboriginal land claims. Even when
aboriginal ownership of specific lands is fully
established, there remains the problem of
interpreting the meaning of that “ownership.” In a
1984 case in Ontario, an aboriginal group claimed
that its property rights should be interpreted as
full ownership in the contemporary sense of private
property, which allows for the sale of the land or its
resources. But the provincial court instead ruled
that the law had previously recognized only the
aboriginal right to use the land and therefore
granted property rights so minimal as to allow only
the bare survival of the community. Here, the
provincial court’s ruling was excessively
conservative in its assessment of the current law.
Regrettably, it appears that this group will not be
successful unless it is able to move its case from
the provincial courts into the Supreme Court of
Canada, which will be, one hopes, more insistent
upon a satisfactory application of the
constitutional reforms.

into the law there is no guarantee that the future will
not bring changes to the law that undermines the
right. For this reason, the federal government of
Canada in 1982 extended constitutional protection to
those aboriginal rights already recognized under the
law. This protection was extended to the Indian, Inuit,
and Métis peoples, the three groups generally
thought to comprise the aboriginal population in
Canada. But this decision has placed on provincial
courts the enormous burden of interpreting and
translating the necessarily general constitutional
language into specific rulings. The result has been
inconsistent recognition and establishment of
aboriginal rights, despite the continued efforts of
aboriginal peoples to raise issues concerning their
rights.

Aboriginal rights in Canada are defined by the

constitution as aboriginal peoples' rights to ownership
of land and its resources, the inherent right of
aboriginal societies to selfgovernment, and the right
to legal recognition of indigenous customs. But
difficulties arise in applying these broadly conceived
rights. For example, while it might appear
straightforward to affirm legal recognition of
indigenous customs, the exact legal meaning of
"indigenous" is extremely difficult to interpret. The
intent of the constitutional protection is to recognize
only long-standing traditional customs, not those of
recent origin; provincial courts therefore require
aboriginal peoples to provide legal documentation
that any customs they seek to protect were practiced
sufficiently long ago-a criterion defined in practice to
mean prior to the establishment of British sovereignty
over the specific territory. However, this requirement
makes it difficult for aboriginal societies, which often
relied on oral tradition rather than written records, to
support their clamis.

".. . .that any customs they seek to protect were

practiced sufficiently long ago."

In the second pharagraph, what does the word "they"

refer to?

A. Canadian federal government

B. Provincial courts

C. Canadian society

D. Indian peoples

E. Aboriginal peoples
