Page 8, News, Tuesday, September 18,1990 Belair pleased with Siddon's m This letter was written by - M.P. Reginald Belair to the Honourable Tom Siddon- Minister of Indian Affairs and Northern Development. Dear Mr. Minister, I was pleased to hear that you met with the senior representa- tives of the First Nations of Canada. It is a step in the right direction and it may help to defuse the crisis that has mesmer- 'ized the country for the last two months. Over the past twelve years, the last two as a Member of Parliament, I have had numerous opportunities to meet with the First Nations of Cochrane- Superior and discuss the Native issues. I am in agreement with them concerning their right to be constitutionally recognized as a Founding Nation of this country. I also agree that they are entitled to parcels of land where their cul- ture could be freely expressed in the values and traditions that the and their ancestors have pursu for centuries.

Everybody welcome other means of pressure from opposing groups is not justifiable or acceptable in our Canadian society. The Mohawks in Oka have made their point, as did the First Nations of my riding. The block- ade of the CN and CP rail lines highlighted their appeal for improvements in each of their communities. Now that the blockades have been dismantled, it is time for you to meet person--- ally with the Chiefs of Cochrane- Superior, especially those who represent communities that are not included in the 1850 Robinson-Superior Treaty. They are currently occupying parcels of land that have not been "treatied", and that question remains to be solved. Justice must be rendered. As you may be aware, there were serious consequences of the three blockades in my riding. Over one thousand railroad work- ers were prevented from exercis- ing their right to work during a period of tow weeks. The result was a loss of wages, the stress on families, the disruption of travel plans of many travelers, and the loss of revenue by the railroad companies. Although the railroad workers were sympathetic to the Natives' claims, their patience should not be tested again. Another protest may result in retaliation such as the ugly scene that occurred in Kahnawake. I am therefore strongly urging you to make a commitment to a future date, to meet with both The library began winter hours. September 15th.
