To anyone who can assist, I am writing this note to request your assistance in
getting a straight story out to the public. 
Recently there have been several articles in the papers regarding Cheam and fishing.
Most of this is racial profiling and propaganda that in most cases the media is only
talking to on side and not the cheam  people.
It has been the experience in the past couple of years that the media is not
interested in hearing our side nor are they willing to print our story. 
I am not sure what measures to take to combat the racism that is being used in the
media and the unfair treatment that we are receiving from the Government
representatives, especially the DFO officers who have been able to come to our
community and on the river in a very aggressive manner and get awy with it while our
people get hauled awy to jail and spend months and even years in court with charges
of assault and obstruction. As one of our community members said today they are
picking us off one at a time.
I will try to get some information out in regards to situation here.
Any suggestions or recomnmendations would be really aprpreciated.
In my mind it seems that only direct action will work. You can reach me at this
