s'toon Solidarity photos & update
Hi everyone, here are some
pics that I wanted for you to have from Friday's
Saskatoon, Sk. Solidarity
March & Rally for the Six Nations & to voice
opposition of Maurice
Vellacott as possible Chair for our native affairs.
We did a good press release
and that is what we want for attention on this
side of the country.
We were interviewed by radio, newspapers, and television. On Monday, May 1,
2006 two of the organizers Colleen Thomas and Peter Garden will be doing a 1
hr show with Mr. Curtain on NewsTalkRadio 650 CKOM am radio of Rawlco Radio
(Colleen 306-981-2348 & Peter 280-4113). We are sure there will be
Vellacott
supporters who will phone in to rattle the moment a bit so we
appreciate
if people can call in to that show to help with their message.
We ended
up with alot of police escort on bikes, motorcycles, minivans, and
police
cars. Our route brought us by hundreds of vehicles during friday
rush hour.
It was quite peaceful and we were happy with the turn-out
despite only 5
days rush on planning, pretty good I say!
Mr. Vellacott was not at his
office to receive the printed online petition
with 1455 Canadian signatures
as of April 28th 10:00 a.m (which I am
couriering to the PM today along with
50 signed postcards from the Rally)
but he did leave a letter to us (how
cowardly) which was read to a 'boo-ing'
crowed. We had some heated speakers
who felt we were not in the right to
end up at the office but isnt that what
we want for people to think? for
dialogue? for understanding? In return,
we left a copy of our petition and
the notes from the Debates of the Senatre
which was sent by Senator Lilian
Eva Dyck.
Thank you to those speakers
who we wanted to show respect & honor to the
people from the Six territory
who reside with us in Saskatchewan: Tamara
Starblanket, Curtis Ahenakew,
Colleen Thomas, Peter Garden, Ethel Ahenakew,
Denis Hall, the youth, Trish
Monture, Martin Cannon, Darlene Okemaysim,
Maggie King, Teah from Shell Lake,
Justin Monture, and others.
in Peace...a Sister,
Darlene Rose Okemaysim,
