With Russell Diabo, one of the most knowledgeable and respected voices on
federal Aboriginal policy across the country. Don't miss the chance to
hear him speak!

Diabo is a member of the Mohawk Nation from Kahnawake, and a Policy
Advisor to the Algonquin Nation Secretariat and Algonquin Wolf Lake First
Nation. He is also the Editor and Publisher of an online newsletter on
First Nations political and legal issues, the First Nations Strategic
Bulletin. Diabo has been an activist on First Nations issues for decades,
since the age of 16 and is part of the Defenders of the Land network and
works closely with Idle No More under a joint agreement between these two
groups to work together on Indigenous Sovereignty.

What is Termination?

Termination means the ending of First Nations pre-existing sovereign
status through imposed Indian Act legislation, policy and federal coercion
of First Nations into Comprehensive Land Claims and Self Government Final
Agreements that convert First Nations into municipalities, their reserves
into fee simple lands and extinguishment of their Inherent, Aboriginal and
Treaty Rights! There are currently 403 First Nations Chief and Councils at
93 Termination tables.
