CONTINUE TO PART 2 OF "Attawapiskat Protest- Thru their eyes Par 2" (part 2 wasn't accepted here, too long)

Sister to Attawapiskat- where are the promises? Attawapiskat are still continuing to struggle after they declare 2 state of emergencies this year in 2009. The first call came when the demolition of the school, old water plant, 3 valve tanks and the old fire hall. The most affected was around the school, where the old school acted as a cap exposed toxic contamination onto the air making the community sick.

They were force to shut down the school and declared their first State of Emergency. INAC refused to recognized it, everyone was left in disabelief as they were handed down their death sentences that we consider genocide. The smell of poisonous diesel contamination was felt with an overwhelming smell in the community.

Then the 2nd state of emergency was declared in July 2009. There was a massive sewage back up that flooded homes to 90 people who were left homeless. Most of them were elders, the sick and disable. Some were taken to Cochrane, Ontario at our community's expense because the community was already overcrowded. Others who stayed were given temporary makeshift tent frames. INAC refused to recognize this other call for SOE!!!

Finally, Attawapiskat said enough is enough! We live on Diamond land and our resources are taken and extracted. How can Canada turn their back on us and say we are a burden and yet, they are getting rich from our resources? You must give back and help us!!! We live in Canada, we have been here for thousands of years and still you practice your colonial genocide with our lives....NO MORE!!!

We are going to tell the World what Canada recent government is doing to their First Nations violating their basic human rights to exist that is genocide. Take a look at our videos- Part 1 and Part 2!! Once you are done, please visit us @ our facebook forum - if you like to join in our cause!

It's getting cold and racing for time. James Bay is harsh environment and winter is just around the corner. Indian and Northern Affairs Canada still refuses to help the community in desperate need for help and are running low n their funds enduring shortage supplies, food and accomodation for the homeless in Attawapiskat and in Cochrane!!

These videos are dedicated to our children, our elders and the sick who are continuing to suffer as you watch these videos!!!

  • @316bluethunder See there you ago, bad attitude. This pipeline would employee a lot of your people. I'm thinking you would rather be with your Dad...in prison.

  • @TheBeaver1967 you know where they should stick that pipeline instead,your arse.

  • @jethro035181 My apologies, how could I have missed that.

  • @TheBeaver1967 ...you aren't recognizing aboriginal contribution to our penal system...to the employment of our social workers...and to the content of cbc programming...you sir, are politically incorrect

  • @316bluethunder If I knew it would create jobs and better my town and life,yes they would get my vote. But you, you would rather block the road, cry about how they built a line on our land, instead of the jobs it created, the people its employing. People are tired of the " poor little Indian bullshit" story.

  • @jethro035181 It will never end, the more you give them the more they want. I say give them there self government, and you will see First Nations will be begging for our help AGAIN!

  • @316bluethunder Shame on you justoldman1, they invented the bingo dabber.

  • @justanoldman1 I dont see why you put up mindless bulletins when all the facts are there.

    What the Natives did for Canada??? lets see popcorn, maplesyrup,coughmedication medicines etc..even if I did mention you would still be ignorrant..

    Helped England establish the dominion of Cnada in the war of 1812 from the USA and won as ALLIES for ENGLAND...

    And what did your forefather do besides complain and think they own Canada..
