Ring of Fire could damage grave, cultural sites

Concerns about burial grounds
THE COLLEGE
student in Timmins has written letters to the Minister of Northern Development and Mines, Nishnawbe Aski Nation and Mushkegowuk Council expressing her concerns. Now she’s launching a petition, seeking signatures from other community members in affected First Nations.
“There is no consultation,” Wabano said. “Meaningful consultation is when everybody is included, the elders, all the residents in the community so they can be aware of what’s going on, because the chiefs can’t speak for me especially when it comes to my grandfather’s traditional territory or my great-grandfather’s final resting place.”
A spokesperson for Mines Minister Michael Gravelle said Ontario is currently focused on engaging the First Nations in the Matawa region, closest to the Ring of Fire.
But the email response to CBC News CONTINUED, saying the province is “fully committed to a wider engagement strategy with our First Nation partners to drive smart, sustainable and collaborative development in the Ring of Fire, subject to the environmental assessment, regulatory approvals and the Crown meeting its duty to consult.”
Ontario police have found the car of a missing Halifax woman and are treating her disappearance as suspicious.
Halifax police said a man and a woman who were travelling in the car in Harrow, Ont., were arrested for being in possession of a stolen vehicle Tuesday night.
Blake Leggette, 25, and Victoria Henneberry, 28, appeared by video in Windsor provincial court on Wednesday. Both have been remanded into custody and are scheduled to appear in court on Friday, again via video.
Halifax Regional Police Const. Pierre Bourdages said the pair had outstanding warrants in Halifax and Calgary.
Loretta Saunders, 26, who is three-months pregnant, hasn’t been seen since last Thurday night.
Bourdages said Leggette and Henneberry know Saunders.
“This file has now been transferred over to the major crime unit given the suspicious nature of the investigation,” the officer said. "Investigations are still looking for any sightings of Loretta.“
Saunders, an Inuit woman from Newfoundland and Labrador, is a student at Saint Mary’s University. Her thesis focuses on missing and murdered aboriginal women, making her disappearance a surreal irony for her family.
Her sister, Delilah Saunders, said she last contacted Loretta by text on Friday, Valentine’s Day, but the only reply she received was a brief “Hey.”
Loretta is described as fair skinned, 5-7", weighing 120 pounds, with straight light brown hair.“
Anyone with information can leave an anonymous tip with Crime Stoppers by calling toll-free 1-800-222-TIPS (8477).

LEGAL SUIT AGAINST OTTAWA’S CHILD WELFARE SERVICES
“Our children keep being taken away from First Nation families in even greater numbers today than during the residential school era,” said Shawn Atleo of the Assembly of First Nations.
What’s happening? Experts estimate there are at least 27,000 aboriginal children who have been removed from their immediate families.
Legal action started in 2007, arguing child-welfare services on reserves received 22 per cent less funding than off-reserve services, even though the need was far greater. - The Canadian Press
VERY SIMILAR to what is currently going on in South Dakota and other states.
