First Nations Rally in Pic Mobert Against Nuclear Waste in Territories – Net Newsledger
25 April 2015
PIC MOBERT FN – ENVIRONMENT – “Today I had the honour and privilege to speak at a rally with a number of great speakers, leaders and community activists. The message was: NO TO NUCLEAR WASTE in their treaty, traditional lands,” stated Serpent River Chief Isadore Day.
“As First Nations, we do need to learn more, but not at the expense of buying blindly into the corporate mandate of NWMOS,” said Chief Day.
“We can, and should demand a learn more process at a government-to-government table; that’s what governments do,” urges Day.
Chief Day says that he believes, “It should be the Ontario government providing resources and information about Nuclear Waste since they are the polluter and they hold the financial liability. The reality is this; First Nations generally don’t want this in their back yard, but the right to know is still a liability that must be resolved”.
