*About The Algonquins of Barriere Lake:
*
The Algonquins of Barriere Lake have been fighting for years to ensure
Canada and Quebec honour the Trilateral Agreement, a landmark resource
co-management agreement signed in 1991. The governments are determined to
quash the agreement and are now trying to seize sensitive community
documents supporting the fight for the Trilateral Agreement. These documents
include research on traditional land use & occupancy, wildlife habitat
studies, and land claims research.

Barriere Lake is being forced to take costly legal action to protect
themselves against the actions of the Canadian government. They cannot
succeed without your support!

Monthly legal costs that the Algonquins of Barriere Lake must incur will
rise into the tens of thousands of dollars by the end of the year, amounting
to approximately $30,000 by December 2011.
