[Indigsol] Re: Stop Racism towards Aboriginals in Australia

[Ben Powless]

Also I was thinking some of you may be interested to know there will be
another protest likely this Friday at Ardoch First Nation (near Sharbot
Lake, on highway 7) where they're planning to shut down the highway over the
uranium issue. If anyone's really interested to know more I can find out
full details. Peace
Ben
