A court in British Columbia has given non-Native fisherman permission to challenge a First Nation fishery.
The non-Natives contend the Native-only fishery on the Fraser River is illegal. But the B.C. Supreme Court in July ruled that it wasn't discriminatory.
About 140 non-Natives were arrested after fishing on the river. They were given suspended sentences and ordered to pay $100 fines by another court.
