   OJIBWAY WARRIOR SOCIETY
   LAKE OF THE WOODS  TERRITORY, OJIBWAY NATION
   TURTLE  ISLAND


   CALL FOR SUPPORT
   This call goes out to our brothers and sisters across Turtle Island 
to support the actions of my friends and relatives who are currently 
besieged by the colonialist government and its oppressive regime who 
together are undertaking a methodical and calculated form of genocide 
against my relations. Their current means of attack against our elderly, 
women and children is through the form of or extension of a 
neo-colonialist government other wise known as the chief and council of 
Iskatewiizaagigun #39, who through there own ignorance or wisdom that 
guides them is perpetuating the extermination policy against their very 
own relations. I cannot condemn them for their behavior and ignorance as 
publicly displayed in their correspondence towards our people ( see 
shoallake40.ca ) due to their lack of knowledge in their history and 
familial ties which goes back for generations, after all they are in 
fact helping us with our struggle with their documentation and their 
most recent
  plan to blockade us from leaving our homes for food medical reasons. I 
also do not condone their actions of interference simply based on my 
inherent right to travel freely across my own territory in my own nation 
on Turtle Island. This is not our way. We are not the enemy. I am very 
proud of the courage of my elders, women, youth and children to rise 
against any further oppression and injustices directed to them. My 
relations have always been humble and proud even through all the 
injustices that have confronted them, which continue to this day. This 
tiny community has always been a strong supporter of other communities 
who have seen there liberties and basic rights placed in jeopardy, this 
tiny community is my home, my place of strength, the home of most 
warriors who have seen action in many different territories, it is from 
this community men have been deployed to represent the ojibway nation 
within the Warrior Alliance to assist and support other nations in their 
time of
  need. This community that stood with others now need your support in 
their struggle for basic human rights and their fight for survival.

   They are taking their plight on the road from Shoal Lake Ontario to 
create awareness and to seek justice for their rightful cause, this 
journey will take them along the railroad that was built to cause the 
beginning of the struggle, to the point where the tracks cross the 
highway between Hadashville and Prawda, Manitoba. At this point an 
encampment will be set up and will receive the initial media crews that 
will be arriving, during this time a drum has been invited as part of 
our protocol with everything around us, from there they will pack up the 
following day and march down the trans Canada highway with the sounds of 
the drum into Winnipeg and arriving at the forks as their final 
destination.

   We will of course be responsible for the safety and security of the 
walkers for the duration of this action but will gladly accept 
additional support and assistance.

   Other ways you can show your support can be by any of the following 
means:

    Joining the march
    joining the drum
    providing water or snacks
    donating food
    letters of support ( send e-mails to semiah_r at yahoo.ca )
    calls for support  ( to voice your support call      1-204-427-3861 
leave mesassage, will return all calls)
    provide support vehicle
    help organize reception at the forks
    financial donations ( please call or      e-mail number & address 
above to make arrangements )


   The Federal Government has approved millions of dollars for the 
Museum of Human Rights to be built in the city of Winnipeg at the same 
time they deny us of our human rights just as they did when they 
approved the expropriation of our land in which we occupied at the time, 
to develop the intake that provides the city of Winnipeg its water 
supply, they have even violated our ancestors in their resting places 
our people are dying just to get on and off the man made island. The 
water leaving our land and lake is the blood of our people. It is ironic 
that water is their theme.

   All our people are asking for is the right to get home.

   All my relations,

   Neogahbo, Elk Clan
