The Innu Indians of Quebec are being forced to sell their ancestral home lands by the provincial government of Quebec. Here we have another case of genocide by government being controlled by a U.S. corporation, hydro electric, financed by the Rockefeller’s of New York state.

The Innu people who own millions of acres of wilderness land in the upper Quebec province of Canada, have harvested, moose, cariboo, geese inland and have fished along the eastern Atlantic coast for thousands of years. Some of the traditional Innu have recently put together a small fleet of fishing boats and would like to process their own catch rather then utilizing the commercial processing plants. The french provincial government of Quebec will not give the Innu people the permits to build the processing plants unless they sell their land to the provincial government of Quebec. The point of becoming self-sustaining is so they won’t have to rely on government subsidies for their sustenance.

We ask that you sign this petition to support the traditional Innu people to obtain the needed permits without having to sell their ancestral lands to the corporate interest that will ruin millions of acres of wilderness and displace more indigenous people.

87 KWIA, supportgroup for indigenous peoples KWIA supports this petition.Governments must respect the landrights and human rights of the Innu peoples
86 Teresa Kurtzhall I support this petition.
85 amber swenor I support this petition because the Innu people desire to become self-sustaining and do not want to rely on government subsidies, if that is what they desire and are capable of doing they should be allowed that opportunity. They have lived and functioned this way for hundreds of years and should not be prevented from continuing their way of life.
84 ANNE KILLIAN DELIGNE I support this petition.

82 Ghislaine Heslinga ( French living in England). I'm shocked again & again to discover forever more instances of Quebec's boundless GREED, and lack of a moral onscience. A mere 31 million people for the whole of Canada over a land bigger than the whole of the USA, and instead of cherishing their small native peoples and the stolen land, they just destroy and waste both - when they are rich already & so-called educated - worst greed in the world, shame on them!

79 Gabrielle Welford I live in Hawai'i. The U.S. is still engaged in stealing and attempting to steal land here. I wish the Innu great fortune in fighting the taking of their land.

58 David Sales whenever native people are asked to sell off there land I stand against it. I will say a prayer for the Innu people.
57 An Unbiased View Be smart people! Listen to both sides before making up your mind! The people behind this petition don't want you to have all the facts. Watch how long it takes before they censor this post away...like they've done with others that encourage free thinking.

40 Peacemaker From Native American Concepts -Truth is the only real power and it is our protection. Conquest, genocide, plunder and theft is mis-using the intellect and 5-senses as a weapon to destroy self and others. That is the blasphemous and insane world of addiction to greed - Dineh Nation
