Meeting In NYC on Innu Land Theft 2/1 or 2/97

Meeting in NYC re: McKenzie Family v. Attorney General of Quebec &
Attorney General of Canada.

Honored Elder, Pilomene McKenzie and her son George McKenzie, will be in
New York City on February 1 and 2, to inform New Yorkers of concern about
their claim against the government of Canada resultant from the impending
theft and destruction of the McKenzie family's traditional hunting lands
in northern Quebec. This suit is of great importance as Innu hunters are
being robbed of their land wholesale by the government of Quebec and this
is the most recent attempt in the courts to stop the taking of indigenous
peoples' land, without which, they cannot continue to live as they have
for thousands of years. The tie to hunting is the only successful barrier
against the advance of poverty - drugs - alcohol and teen suicide, now
attacking Innu communities that are cut of from traditional ways of life.

The place for this talk is still being arranged, but we need to know how
many may attend. If you are interested, please send e-mail to Larry Otway,
at "inobu@aol.com" and pass this address around to others who may be
interested. Please also pledge to bring a contribution (small if you must,
but every cent will go to the McKenzies to use with their struggle) to the
defense fund if you can attend. As traditional among Innu, this talk will
be accompanied by a pot-luck meal, so please also plan to bring a big
serving of food to share.

All the best - hope to hear from you soon...
Larry Otway
