CHICAGO/TORONTO: Christian Peacemaker Teams announces delegations to
Asubpeeschoseewagong (Grassy Narrows, Ontario) May 28-June 6 and Sept. 3-11,
2004.

In 1999, the Ontario Government approved a 20-year plan allowing a corporate
logging company to continue clear-cutting forest on the traditional land-use
area of the Asubpeeschoseewagong First Nations community. A blockade since
November, 2002 challenges the violators of the community's traditional
lands.

Delegation members will learn about Aboriginal rights and environmental
concerns, monitor human rights, and serve as a nonviolent presence at the
camp. Participants should be prepared to camp under rustic conditions. Cost
is $300 US ($400 Cdn). Delegates arrange their own transportation to
Winnipeg, Manitoba.

CPT is a faith-based group that seeks participants for all delegations who
are interested in human rights work, committed to nonviolence, and willing
to participate in team worship and reflection. The delegation experience
culminates in a nonviolent public witness that challenges violence.

Delegates should have plans to share about the trip upon return to their
home communities and congregations.

Cost covers on-ground travel from Winnipeg and on-site, two meals a day,
simple accommodations, and all honorariums and delegation fees. For more
