The Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug (Big Trout Lake) First Nation is being 
sued for more than $10 billion by a Canadian mining company, Platinex 
Inc., because they have made a stand to protect their treaty and 
aboriginal rights pending resolution of their legal dispute with the 
federal and provincial governments.  The mining company attempted to 
proceed despite the community consensus against the project which is now 
seeking a court order to proceed despite the failure by the Provincial 
government to consult with KI.

Members of KI are coming to Toronto by foot – more than 2,000 kilometres – 
in order to raise awareness and support.  You can get more info and keep 
in touch with the “Kitchenuhmaykoosib Awareness Walk: our land, our 
children our future” through the links below:
