Six Nations Update-what you can do
1. FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
PRESS RELEASE: April 21, 2006
________________________________________________
United Native Nations puts pressure on Feds to negotiate with Six
Nations
and remove OPP
(Coast Salish Territory/Vancouver, April 21st, 2006) The United Native
Nations in British Columbia insists the Federal Government to negotiate
with
the leaders of Six Nations on a Nation-to-Nation basis to defuse the
situation at Caledonia, Ontario.
"I have seen first-hand in 2001 at Burnt Church, New Brunswick, the
violence
put upon our people by the Government of Canada" says David Dennis Vice-
President of United Native Nations
The land conflict in Six Nations Territory is parallel to First Nations'
land conflicts in British Columbia. As it is presently, rather than the
intervention of the Federal Government to address the underlying issues
of
denial of our title, these conflicts become an exercise of enforcement
where
the police are brought in as a short-term means of resolution.
We call for the safety for the Six Nations women, children and
families. We
as Indian people will go to ANY measures to ensure their safety. We will
hold this government accountable for any expenditure through the RCMP
that
results in any harm done to the people of Six Nations. There are over
90,000
urban aboriginals in the greater Vancouver Area. The frustration of our
impoverished situations may come to a boiling point should the Six
Nations
situation be resolved in a heavy-handed manner.
We call for peace and calm. The Federal Government and Prime Minister
Harper
must act honourably and consult all leadership within Six Nations to
prevent
any further incursions.

TO SUPPORT PEOPLE AT SIX NATIONS
What support Six Nations people are asking for:
1. People to join the encampment, especially to stay overnight. If you
have a ride or need one check our message board at
http://excoboard.com/exco/forum.php?forumid=91715
Directions to the Encampment from Toronto:
Take the QEW west to 403
Take the Hwy 6 South exit off the 403 (the Hwy 6 North exit comes first,
so be careful)
Follow Hwy 6 till it turns into Argyle Rd.
You will cross the bridge over the Grande River.
Shortly after you cross the bridge you will come to the encampment.
You will see a Canadian Tire and Tim Hortons just before you come on to
the OPP blockade.
As yet the OPP has not stopped anyone who parks outside the barricade
and walks a few steps into the encampment.
If you have supplies to unload, please ask those on the site for help in
getting your vehicle inside the Six Nations controlled barricade.
