[Indigsol] Tues. Jan. 24 Support the Algonquins of Barriere Lake & Rally in Honour of the Treaties

[ipsm ottawa]

SPREAD THE WORD!!

Rally #1:

*10 am, Tuesday, Jan. 24*
*111 Sussex Drive, Ottawa (**Old City Hall), **unceded Algonquin Territory.*
*Support the Algonquins of Barriere Lake - *
*Demand Canada Remove Their Indian Act Band Council & Recognize Barriere
Lake's Customary Government*

In April 2010, the Minister of Indian Affairs imposed a foreign system of
governance (Indian Act electoral system) on the Algonquin First Nation of
Barriere Lake to avoid honouring the signed agreements and recognizing
legitimate leadership.

At 10 am, on Tuesday, Jan. 24 as the Crown and First Nations leaderships
gathered at the old Ottawa City Hall, come out to join Barriere Lake
Algonquins at a rally in front of the meeting place to show your solidarity
and demand the CANADIAN government:

*REVOKE SECTION 74 OF INDIAN ACT!*
*RECOGNIZE BARRIERE LAKE's CUSTOMARY CHIEF AND COUNCIL!*
*RESPECT BARRIERE LAKE'S SOVEREIGNTY AND SELF-DETERMINATION!*

*10 am, Tuesday, Jan. 24*
*In front of Old City Hall, 111 Sussex Drive, Ottawa, unceded Algonquin
Territory.*
