On June 28, 2007, members of the Ardoch Lake and Shabot Obaadjiwan First 
Nations along with non-native allies occupied a proposed uranium mine site 
on traditional Algonquin lands, to prevent drilling for core samples by 
Frontenac Ventures, Inc. Since then, they have maintained a 24/7 presence at 
the Ardoch, Ontario mine site. The site sits on unceded indigenous territory 
and on the Mississippi River, which is connected to the Ottawa River 
watershed. They have also temporarily blockaded Highway 7 in Ardoch, held 
info-pickets in Perth, and have been very vocal in calling for a moratorium 
on all uranium mining in Ontario. Both nations still maintain a close 
identification with the land they live on, and rely heavily on traditional 
activities such as hunting and trapping to meet their needs. As a result, 
they refuse to allow their land to be poisoned and desecrated in the toxic 
process of uranium extraction, even sample extraction. Currently, several 
individuals involved in the blockade are being sued by Frontenac Ventures 
for $75 million. Despite this, the blockade continues, and serves as a 
reminder of the ongoing resistance to the genocidal and ecocidal practices 
of colonizing corporations and governments in Canada and abroad.
