We the Indigenous grassroots people of this land support Idle No More. We are standing with Indigenous and Non Indigenous Nations worldwide to voice stewardship for the protection of Water and the environment.
We urge the Federal Government to rescind Bill C-38 and Bill C-45.
We continue to have concerns about the inability to exercise our treaty rights to Hunt, Fish and Trap on the Air Weapons Range, which was recognized in a Lands Claim to be a part of the Cold Lake First Nation Traditional Territory, this is due to extreme activity and rapid negative effect on the environment, including Water.
