Gathering of Mother Earth Protectors and Aboriginal Day of Action: For the grandchildren
Posted Nov 16 2009 10:00pm
As today’s Day of Action march, from Queen’s Park to Toronto’s waterfront, brings to a close the Gathering of Mother Earth Protectors I am struck by the images and words of grandparents enjoying their rich First Nations culture with grandkids, something residential schools stripped away from them, of course, in their youth. Time and time again, speaker after speaker this week invoked their grandchildren as being uppermost in their mind as they fight to uphold treaty and basic human rights to carry on their way of life on sacred ancestral lands.
A procession of First Nations representatives and settler supporters marched from Queen’s Park to Little Norway Park at Queen’s Quay and Bathurst. Bob Lovelace spoke at the post-march rally just hours after he, along with the “KI-6″, was released from prison.
