THREE DECADES OF DEVASTATION-RESPECT LAND RIGHTS OF LUBICON CREE

Large-scale oil and gas development has drastically undermined the ability of the Lubicon Cree, Indigenous people in western Canada, to maintain their traditional culture, livelihoods and way of life.

United Nations human rights experts have repeatedly expressed concern over the devastating impacts of industrial development on the fundamental rights of the Lubicon Cree.

The Government of Alberta has to return to negotiations with the Lubicon Cree with a clear commitment to finding a just resolution to the land dispute. Such a resolution must fully uphold the rights of the Lubicon Cree under domestic and international law.

TAKE ACTION AND WRITE A LETTER TO:
Office of the Prime Minister of Canada
President and Chief Executive Officer
80 Wellington StreetOttawa, ONK1A 0A2

Or send back an e-mail to: activism@amnesty.org.au

THANK YOU FOR THEM!
