Algonquin land to be mined for uranium. Ongoing blockade. Help
Requested.
Posted by Ahni July 9, 2007 Over the past year, Frontenac Ventures
Corporation (and Mining Resource Engineering Limited MREL) has been
appropriating Algonquin traditional lands near Ardoch, Ontario.
According to a statement from the Algonquins of Ardoch lake, the plan
is to develop the 60km to extract uranium from the land. As you may
know, there's currently a bit of uranium fever going around.
The land however has been appropriated without the authority of Ardoch
Algonquin First Nation. Further, they were not at all consulted with
respect to this plan to mine the land, and have not given permission
for activities being currently engaged on this land.
In response to this, and after the concerning discoveries made while
recently inspecting the land (see above link), Yesterday the
Algonquins of Sharbot and Ardoch Lakes blocked Highway 7 (42 miles
north of Kingston)
The Algonquins have since been warned that an injunction is to be
served against them tomorrow, and the Algonquin People are now calling
upon other Aboriginal communities, concerned Canadian citizens, and
environmental groups to get involved in this
issue. .......................s
