Program Title: Native Rights Under Lock & Key - Rally in Support of Barriere Lake Algonquins

	
Description:
The following speeches are by community member Sonny Papatie who was
jailed for peacefully blockading highway 117 in defense of his land,
Martin Lukacs, a member of Barriere Lake Solidarity Collective and Luc
Tailleur, a representative from the Public Service Alliance of Canada.
A
broad network of political parties, unions, human rights and Indigenous
groups rallied to support the Algonquins of Barriere Lake, demanding
that the Government of Canada respect a landmark agreement and Barriere
Lake's right to decide who serves as their Customary Chief and Council.
The
groups held a rally on January 7 at noon in front of the Headquarters
of Indian and Northern Affairs Canada, in support of Customary Chief
Benjamin Nottaway, jailed for two months for joining community members
while they peacefully asserted land rights to Barriere Lake's
traditional territories in Western Quebec. Community spokespeople will
then travel to Montreal for a demonstration on Thursday in front of
Premier Jean Charest's office.
