Album: Asubpeeschoseewagong: Roving Blockades

In addition to the continuous blockade camp maintained at Slant Lake since December 3, 2002 Asubpeeschoseewagong (Grassy Narrows) band members sometimes show up unannounced on other bush roads, blocking logging equipment with their vehicles, campfires and bodies. These 'roving blockades' usually last a few days and disrupt timber operations with their unpredictability.

In the meantime, you can see what is happening in this album...

Album: March 11, 2004 Abitibi in Court

Abitibi breaks more than laws: clear-cutting breaks the Anishnaabe traditional way of a life -- an economy built on trapping and hunting. United Nations covenants guarantee that a people's subsistence will not be denied them. Clear-cutting violates international Treaty #3.
