I recently attended a meeting in Edmonton, with concerned
individuals, at the office of Bruce Millar MLA for Glenora in Edmonton.
Perhaps you may remember the Friends of the Lubicon and the work to resolve
the outstanding land claim and resource extraction issues regarding their
traditional lands. Many people when you bring up the issue believe that
this was settled years ago. The negotiator's have stopped negotiations in
2003 and have not returned to the table. The media has also dropped much of
their interest as well.
The work of reconciliation and building right relationship should
not allow the status - quo of continuing to do nothing. The current
approach to using assigned negotiators with limited options does not allow
for dialogue and ongoing efforts to settlement. Access to the courts, is
also limited when financial resources are not available.
Please consider joining this network for this justice project both
in Alberta and across Canada.
