The first is that I would like to know what are the "traditional laws" that are being talked about. The second is why don't they show pictures from a mile down the road where the new growth trees that were replanted are coming up? The third point is that it seems to me that many First Nations people are upset with development of resources and don't want this occuring anywhere near where they live, but are very willing to partcipate in and use the modern day conveniences that come with living in and being supported by the people of Ontario and Canada (and directly or indirectly by some of these resources and industries that they are trying to stop).

The First time we slept there for one night. It was interesting that Ontario Provincial Police came all the way up as a result of calls from "concerned loggers". The OPP founds it odd that we were up there sleeping in a wigwam in the middle of winter in the middle of no where. It's not odd to us, were Anishnabek. It's a war against the forest up there. It's like as if they are trying to cut the forest down as fast as they can. From 2am to 2 the next afternoon logging trucks, fuel trucks, repair trucks, pick up trucks, logging equipment are just constantly going. It's sad. The ceremony must continue... Mar 21, 2008

Greed kills not only the land but its people. Imagine an earth with no forest! Mother nature will pick up arms and so it will be written that man destroyed himself.
