Day of action to support the Algonquins of Barriere Lake
Location
DEMAND THAT CANADA RESPECT BARRIERE LAKE'S TRADITIONAL GOVERNMENT AND TRAILBLAZING ENVIRONMENTAL AGREEMENTS
What if a foreign regime was destroying your system of government, so it could then steal your resources and prevent you from environmentally protecting your homeland? This is what the Harper Government and federal bureaucrats are doing to the First Nation of Barriere Lake.
For more than two decades, the Algonquins of Barriere Lake have been demonstrating environmental leadership to the rest of Canada, campaigning to stop destructive clear-cut logging and to implement a sustainable development plan in their homeland in north-western Quebec.
Remembering the Bare Mountain Treesit

It's the anniversary of the tree sit raid and the countdown to 2010, all in one! Frank Lopez is coming from Van with his latest video about the protest at the presidential conventions.
The outspoken wordsmiths will perform, and the Revolutionary Cyborg Wedding Band will finish our night off. By donation.
