2012.12.20 - Omnibust Canada’s Breach of Trust

Source: http://nationtalk.ca/story/omnibust-canadas-breach-of-trust/ “I reiterate the urgency of having our inherent and Treaty rights recognized and implemented. Our people have been abused in horrific ways during the “colonization” of our territories: a process that continues to this day. We have been marginalized and impoverished in our own homelands. We will take the steps necessary to end the ongoing abuses of colonialism. That could include mounting a constitutional challenge of Canada’s ongoing violation of our rights,” added Chief Bellegarde. “We were optimistic at the time of the First Nations-Crown gathering that things would change, and that we would move forward in true partnership. But with the unilateral imposition of legislation that will have significant negative impacts upon our rights, that hope is gone,” added Chief Bellegarde.
