[IPSM] Fwd: Urgent - Members of Cold Lake First Nation set up blockade in their territory: Attention All Nations save our land

[Dru Oja Jay]

I just received an *URGENT *message from members of the Cold Lake First
Nation. They are currently blocking a road and occupying their territory
which is being proposed for a provincial park - without the consent of the
Nation.

*They are protecting burial sites and culturally sensitive areas.
*
They have been there since Friday. They may face an injunction tomorrow - so
they need our support. They are asking for verbal and written support
letters.

Their message from the blockade is below. They will be keeping vigil
overnight.

They have asked me to forward this on to all networks. Please forward to all
your contacts.

For more information, please contact Brian Grandbois: 780-812-6873


Hai hai,

Attention all Nations:

We the Dene Suline of Cold Lake Alberta are presently occupying a proposed
provincial park on our traditional territory.

We are asking the nations for verbal support on our position. We are denying
contractors and the alberta government access to our territory.

We are protecting burial sites and many other cultural significant areas.

We may be forced by the RCMP to leave or worse.
We need our people across country to support our position.

We are being supported by CLFN chief and council

In the spirit of total resistance CLFN.
