[IPSMO] Ottawa in Solidarity with Wet'suwet'en! - Noon March 16

[Indigenous Solidarity Ottawa]

This is a solidarity action taken in response to the ACTION ALERT -
Second International Call to Action for Gidimt'en, the Wet'suwet'en &
Indigenous Peoples (https://www.facebook.com/events/2254862088166924/) 

Join us on Saturday March 16th here on unceded unsurrendered Algonquin
territory. At noon we will gather at Confederation Park (at Laurier and
Elgin). Look for a 10-foot banner that reads "RCMP out of Wet'suwet'en
territory"! Bring your drums, noise, banners, and voices! We will walk
together and let people know that the colonial government systems of
canada continue to infringe on rights of Wet'suwet'en & Indigenous
peoples!

>From the Second International Call to Action for Gidimt'en, the
Wet'suwet'en & Indigenous People:

"On March 16th, 2019, we are calling on allies to step up for a second
International Day of Action in solidarity with Gidimt'en Checkpoint,
Wet'suwet'en Frontlines, and all Indigenous Peoples across Turtle
Island. Among the battles on Wet'suwet'en territories, there have been:
violent, militarized raids, destruction of personal property, continued
harassment & threats from the rcmp, and CGL, defaming & untrue
statements by the government & industry, and removal of artifacts found
in our traditional territories (disallowing a neutral agency to assess
said artifacts"

"A Smoke Feast will be held on March 16, 2019 to formally announce the
commencement of title discussions between the Province of BC and the
Wet'suwet'en Hereditary Chiefs. As this happens, there is assurance to
supporters, allies, and community members that these negotiations DO NOT
equal consent. These title discussions were to commence in 1997 - after
the Delgamuuk'w & Gisday'wa ruling (that stated that the Wet'suwet'en
hold jurisdiction over our territories)." 

Support the Wet'suwet'en & Indigenous peoples in their continued
struggles by offering physical support to the camps, monetary or
material donation, or by taking action where you stand.
