ASUBPEESCHOSEEWAGONG: Aboriginal Justice Delegations to Treaty #3 Territory (Northwestern Ontario), 13-23 August 2010 and 24 September-6 October 2010

Corporate clear-cut logging of Asubpeeschoseewagong traditional territory has destroyed hunting, trapping, food, and medicine gathering activities of First Nations people.  Indian Residential Schools have deeply affected families and communities.  Mercury contamination discovered over forty years ago continues to poison residents of the area.

 Explore what it means to live in right relationship with the earth and each other.  Find out what it means to be an ally to indigenous communities engaged in healing, resisting colonialism, and struggling for sovereignty.  From a base in the city of Kenora, and in visits to Asubpeeschoseewagong traditional lands, the delegations will meet with Indigenous and non-Indigenous community leaders and residents.
