*Please Forward Widely*
On December 2, 2002, two young Anishnaabwekwe from Grassy Narrows Asubpeeschoseewagong went out to the woods in the snow to start what is now one of the longest running indigenous blockades in the recent memory of Turtle Island. Please join us to mark a decade of struggle and achievement, and remember the work still to be done.
10 Years of the Grassy Narrows Blockade: A Sacred Fire at Queen's Park
The community continues to maintain a moratorium on clearcutting in their traditional territories. For many years now, despite the ongoing threat of logging, grandmothers, mothers, trappers and youth have held off some of the world's largest paper corporations. The community has also taken the Ontario government to task for inaction on the ongoing effects of mercury poisoning on their families and ecosystems.
Many of you, your families, your organizations, your communities, have supported their efforts in the last decade. The Sacred Fire at Queen's Park Lawn on December 2nd, 2012, is a great way to show your ongoing support and to mark an important anniversary in the fight to protect Indigenous rights and the water, air, land, and creatures that we all depend on.
