i just want to acknowledge all the peoples who’s names go unmentioned, the ones who fasted for the forests, the ones who walked and made prayers, also the ones who supported over the years who came to the blockade without having to belong to any organizations but individuals who believed in what Grassy Narrows was doing for all first Nation,
* above all the PEOPLE of Grassy Narrows for believing in the struggle for Justice for all, and the ones who dwell on these lands, this would not be been possible without them*
none of these organizations would not been doing what they are doing without their stuggle. So i also want to thank them also.

To all at Grassy Narrows, a heartfelt congratulations from Scotland. Our visit to Grassy Narrows back in 2002, just before the blockade began, will always be unforgettable. I remember the outrage and despair at seeing the vast, horizon-to-horizon clearcut. But most of all I will never forget the people we met at Grassy Narrows – the love of the land shining in their eyes, as they showed us around, made us welcome, told us their history and promised never to rest until they had stopped the desecration. And you didn’t rest and you have turned the tide of pulp-power. No-one deserves this victory more than Grassy Narrows First Nation – you are an inspiration to us all.

Great work and congratulations on your tremendous success in getting AbitibiBowater off your land. Gratitude and hello to the folks I met who walked to Toronto and brought the duty to consult and logging industry issues to the front lawn of Ontario’s legislature. Migwetch to you and your community for helping to save earth and all with dedication and clear vision and spiritual strength.

Thank you for that link. It was a wonderful piece and her dedication and serene connection to her land was both wonderful and sad to hear. Those people have lost so much but it sounds as though they are very able to bring back the heart and soul of their home. Peace.
