Time for Government Disregard
of First Nations to Stop
by Tsartlip First Nation
Our people are tired of the way we are being treated by all levels of
government. The Treaty of 1852 promises our hunting and fishing areas to
be protected and to remain. The governments keep disregarding us and
it is time to stop.
At noon on October 16th Tsartlip will be
closing down West Saanich Rd at the Mt Newton intersection and Stelly's X
rd. At the Mt Newton intersection where a cultural ceremony will take
place acknowledging LAUWELNEW & YOS (Mt Newton & Malahat) the
mountains are where our people get strength.
From the ceremony we will
walk to the Tribal School gym where a stage will be set for the Chiefs
to acknowledge the Saanich Territorial Declaration and the Douglas
Treaty.
