Another level of obstacle to progress on the parasitic level. Living in Aylmer, Quebec since the 70's all of a sudden there seems interest in hunting and fishing. It looks like the chromite might be more of an interesting catch.

Ojibway woman fights for her ancestral rights

The Ring of Fire is a name that has been given to a planned mining chromite project (The Iron Chromium Oxide extracted from it is used in chrome plating and in the production of stainless steel) in the Northern Ontario James Bay Lowlands. Until mineral deposits were discovered a decade ago the area was and still is largely a place for hunters and trappers who live in nine scattered remote First Nations communities the inhabitants of whom remain mainly depend on traditional food for nourishment.

One of these hunters was Alex Wassaykeesic who passed away on September 16, 2013. His traplines sit in the North Ward Corridor of the proposed Ring of Fire and his only child, daughter Neecha Dupuis aka Wassaykeesic who is a member of the Saugeen First Nation community has been endeavoring without success to recover his land, which is now been reclassified as commercial from the MNR......

If offering back the land is totally out of the question would you be seeking any form of compensation? And if granted, what you would you settle for?

The chromite mining will flow directly through our family’s Pipestone waterways in the Northward corridor of the proposed Ring of Fire. I feel an obligation as an AnishnabeKwe to protect the waters, our natural resources and help create businesses for our youth with the help of our elders.
I am a Grass Roots Networker, an advocate for the Missing, Murdered Women, Men and Children, a frontline Firekeeper in defending our rights to exist on our lands; in 2006, I stood on many blockades in solidarity with the Iroquois Confederacy from 6 Nations to Grassy Narrows as a supporter and created lifelong friendships and international alliances.
As one of matriarch of my family, we need safety, off-reserve housing, education; equal training opportunities. We need “how to start you own business with hands on teachings”. Suicide is rampant, let’s create healing lodges for our youth; Elder’s travel lodges, let’s break down the distance and create safe Neechie rides for our people for i.e. Sioux Lookout, Savant Lake, Pickle Lake, Thunder Bay shuttle services and all in between nation to nation building. Let’s design billboards along the TransCanada expressing our artist’s pride with #knowyourfacts. I would like to find out if there is other Neechie’s out there who feels the same way as I do? Let’s connect.
