The Heiltsuk people are the caretakers of their territorial lands & waters, in the Great Bear Rainforest on BC's Central Coast, so we must speak up for all the creatures, as they have no idea what's happening, nor can they speak for themselves. We believe and have faith that native people and all others, who care deeply for the land, waters, and all that inhabit them, will rise above any struggles we are faced with!

Tell the world the truth about Canada's record on Indigenous rights
This public Call Out is on behalf of the "Defenders of the Land" for support and action regarding Canada hosting the G8/G20 on June 24, 2010. The Defenders are a movement of independent indigenous bodies that defend Aboriginal and Treaty territories from destructive commercial and industrial development.
The G8/G20 does impact on Aboriginal and Treaty Rights of Indigenous Peoples in Canada. Aboriginal and Treaty Rights are the underlying proprietary ownership and jurisdiction of land, water and resources in Canada. The failure of Canada to recognize Aboriginal and Treaty Rights economically forces Indigenous Peoples to live in poverty.
