=============================

The Ardoch Algonquin First Nation and Allies (AAFNA) is a confederation of
Algonquin families who have lived in the Ottawa' River watershed since
time immemorial and who are currently situated in the area described by
the Mississippi, Madawaska, Rideau, and Tay watersheds.

The Ardoch Algonquin “are committed to finding peaceful ways to resolve
the underlying factors that led to the issuance of mineral claims within
[their] homeland. This approach includes educating the public and
ourselves on the danger that uranium represents to human and animal health
and ecological stability, as well as providing information on Algonquin
law, relationships with the land, and responsibilities within our
homeland.

[They] have also pursued legal and political solutions, as well as direct
action, to bring attention to the issue and the ways in which the
Government of Ontario promotes the mining industry over human rights and
the environment.”

The Indigenous Peoples’ Solidarity Movement of Ottawa is a grassroots
organization that directly supports indigenous peoples in diverse
struggles for justice. We also work within communities to challenge the
lies and half-truths about indigenous peoples and colonization that
dominate Canadian society.  The organization is open to both indigenous
and non-indigenous people, and focuses on local and regional campaigns.

As we act in solidarity with indigenous people, we build relationships
where we can learn from indigenous cultures. By doing this, we can further
decolonize ourselves, and so learn to better challenge the racist and
colonial ideas that dominate Canadian society.

We provide support to actions and campaigns for Indigenous sovereignty,
self-determination, defense of the land, environmental protection,
cultural revitalization, and the honouring of treaties and agreements.
