An Urgent Call to Attend Sunrise Ceremony:
Vigil for Racial Tolerance, Understanding,
Respect, and in Support of Policies
Promoting Economic Self-Sufficiency.
6 a.m. ~ 10 a.m.
Thursday, May 27, 1999
Queens Park
University & Colleges Streets
Toronto, Ontario
All Drums, Singers,
First Nations, Aboriginal People
and Supporters invited.
In recent years, the policies impacting
Aboriginal Peoples in Ontario region
have been going in the wrong direction.
This Vigil is called to give publicity
to the changes and new direction which
the incoming Ontario government should
deliver in order to ensure a good
relationship with First Nations in this
region and to support First Nations’
efforts to achieve economic
self-sufficiency. We must act now,
as we are headed towards an Ontario
where it will be uncomfortable for both
Native and non-Native people to live.
The leaders of the three major parties,
or their designates, are requested to
drop in to open dialogue with Chiefs
and other representatives.
A press briefing will be held at 11am.
Do as the UN and Amnesty International say:
Call an Inquiry into Ipperwash now.
Put "Lands for Life/Ontario Living Legacy"
on hold: negotiate with the NAN.
Support the Caldwell First Nation’s right
to their territory.
Stop Abitibi’s clear-cutting;
conduct an environmental assessment
at Grassy Narrows.
Support fishing and hunting rights
of Mètis and First Nations’ citizens.
Implement policies respecting
nation-to-nation relationships.
Strengthen awareness of Aboriginal
cultures through education
and arts initiatives.
Protect the environment.
Sponsored by: Nishnawbe-Aski Nation;
Caldwell First Nation; Grassy Narrows
First Nation; Coalition for a Public
Inquiry into the Death of Dudley George;
Turtle Island Support Group; and others.
