To the people in unity and support of the struggle at Caledonia,
Keep up the pressure and intensify all efforts. Ben
Here is a few links for more current news.
http://www.ndnnews.com/Caledonia%20Occupation.htm
Also, do a search on "Oka Crisis"
and this link should show up.

If you have high speed internet, there are some videos that
can help to dramatize the situation in Caledonia. If you don't have high
speed, it will be worth the wait.
I've heard of plans to
do demos at two of the Canadian Embassies. Anyone else? There is an
opportunity to do a worldwide concerted effort to let Canada know the world is
watching
Another person offered this:
Obviously it should go higher than this BUT, Maybe we could
send out
complaints into the " Ontario Provincial Police."
Bombard them with complaints.................
I
am a little ignorant on "OPP" so I looked up on line and found below
info:
I looked at the OPP website. I found
out that the commissioner is a
woman,
here is
an excerpt on the commissioner:
Gwen M. Boniface began her policing
career with the Ontario Provincial
Police
(O.P.P.)
in 1977. In 1998, she was named Commissioner and now leads
more
than
7,000 O.P.P. uniform and civilian members serving in Ontario.
She is
responsible for policing services to diverse communities
throughout
the
province, including front-line
delivery, administrative support
services and
highly specialized and multi-jurisdictional investigations.
AND:::::::::::::
Commissioner Boniface is, by invitation, a member of the First Nations
Chiefs
of Police. She is the first woman to have
held the position of
President of
the Canadian
Association of Chiefs of Police and the first Canadian
police
officer to be elected General Chair of the International Association
of Chiefs
of Police Division of State and Provincial.

As for any other links with the higher gov't etc,
I'm unsure what to
suggest.

Don't expect the police to say I am sorry, but hit them hard with
emails, letters, phone calls and whatever you can come up with.
To send additional protest letters, I've put this much together:

Some websites that you can bombard to bring the news to national/international
attention:
Www.indymedia.org
(try to get something posted in every state asking people to send their complaints
to the addresses above, including the Canadian Embassy)
http://edition.cnn.com
(keep the pressure on CNN so that it doesn't get put on the backburner because
George Bush parts his hair on the other side) (Continue hitting your local
news media and the national affiliates
Email all of the
major religious organizations. (I have a phone modem, so the internet is
very slow for me, therefore, I am unable to do this for you. Remember, the
people we are supporting are doing a lot more than we are standing in the cold
facing an armed assault. So whatever faith you belong to contact its main
headquarters and ask them to broadcast an alert to it members, and make this a
focus of its prayers this week)
Make an address folder for
all religious and news organizations so whenever updates come in or a new issue
erupts, you have a means of getting the word out. If some one has a comprehensive
list, please send it to me. It could help to save me a lot of time, and
others also.
I have heard that if someone has
satellite, there is a station that has live feed of Caledonia and the stand-off,
maybe someone can hit reply to all and provide that information.
Also, I am not at my computer all day so if everyone could contact
"Orakwa International Indigenous Ent." <
orakwa@paulcomm.ca
and ask to be placed on their immediate updates, you'll have
the info faster than I can get it to you.
