Another act of Genocide against Native People living on Traditional Algonquin Territory located off of hwy 117 in parc la verendrye known as Maigan Agik

 

September 19,2008 at approx. 10:00 am Thursday morning Revenue Quebec , Henri Turcotte made a surprise visit with a search warrant escorted by (S.Q) Surete du Quebec(police) to search for “Illegal Native Cigarettes” at our home and shop, on Algonquin Territory, Search warrant was issued and signed by the District of Pontiac, Judge Dominique Benoit from Montreal, Quebec

This is the 2nd time they seized cigs here. The 1st time was in 2006 and we are still in court on those charges

Mr. Turcotte seized all native cigarettes from our shop, telling us it is illegal to sell native cigarettes without the permission from the government. Which in result we will be charged, fined and brought to court under their laws.

What about our rights as original people?

We live on unceeded Algonquin Territory, which every house was built by each family without the help from any government authorities. They basically told us to go back to the Reserve to sell our products

“Reservation” is not part of our culture and we do not agree that we should be rounded up like cattle, hand fed money , domesticated nor be referred to pagans by any government or any queen.

We, and all original people of the land have the right to defend our rights.
