Hello Everyone,

Urgent Call for Support Klappan Blockade.  (See Attachments)
This is an urgent plea for support of the Tahltan Blocade. A Road Block
has  been set up near Iskut, B.C. by the Tahltan Nation. The Eulue Lake
Road  (Access Road to the Klappan near the junction at Highway #37 has
been  blocked since July 16,2005.  The road leads to the Klappan Groundhog
  Coalfields in the Sacred Headwaters.  Tahltan Nation members set up the
Industrial Blockade to prevent companies and contractors from accessing
the  area to begin any level of disturbance to the sacred area.
Tahltan Elders, families with small children and Tahltan supporters have
kept a vigil to protect thier way of life and culture. The eldest person
at  the blockade is 84 and the youngest is one week old.   Elders held
council  last night to make strategic decisions and formalize plans for
this peaceful  protest.

We have just been threatened with a court injunction.  We hope that as
many  people will come to support us.  Let us know if you need some
direction as  the route to take.

We are asking for your urgent assistance in protecting our territory.  You
  can be in touch with us by emailing me back at ktab777 at hotmail.com and cc
  Rhoda at rhodaandpeter at yt.sympatico.ca or calling and leaving a message
at  613-791-4492 or call Rhoda Quock 250-234-3023 or Fax 250-2343195

Thank you very much.
Tahltan Nation Blockade

Warmest Regards,
Kukdookaa Terri Brown
