RE: Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwug
In November, OFL convention delegates voted to support KI First Nation’s struggle against unwanted exploitation of its land by mining companies. Chief Donny Morris, one of our honoured guests, spoke to convention and met with numerous union heads, politicians, policy makers, faith communities and activists while he was there. At issue for all of us is God’s Lake Resources and the continued refusal of the provincial government to recognize and respect KI’s protection of its and sacred and ceremonial areas.
