    In Ontario, Canada, an indigenous community called the Grassy
Narrows First Nation are being subjected to human rights abuses.
Logging companies, Weyerhaeuser and Abitibi are clear-cut logging
their land without the community's consent. This exploitation is
poisoning their waters with toxins, robbing the community of economic
opportunities, and destroying their way of life.

Fortunately, the Grassy Narrows Community is taking a stand against
this injustice. On December 2nd, 2002, Grassy Narrows established a
blockade on a logging road in their territory, sparking what is now
the longest standing and highest profile indigenous logging blockade
in Canadian history. But, three years later, logging is still taking
place on remote sections of their land as the community does not have
the resources to block all of the logging roads in their territory.
Weyerhaeuser and Abitibi refuse to stop the logging, leave the land
and respect the community's right to self-determiniation within their
traditional territory.

Please sign the petition to pledge your support to the Grassy Narrows
First Nation's struggle to stop Weyerhaeuser and Abitibi from logging
without their consent on their land, and secure the right to
self-determination within their traditional territory.
