Status Indian player barred from All Native sports event

Organizers of an all First Nations basketball tournament in B.C. have barred a status Indian player from competing, even though Josiah Wilson was adopted and raised in a First Nations family and holds a status Indian card. The Haitian-born point guard is black. Organizers say he lacks First Nations 'bloodlines.'
