Aktuelles zur internationalen Lubicon Cree Kampagne – Der Chief der Lubicon Cree, Bernard Ominayak, reagiert auf die Miss- und Falschinformation des kanadischen Indianerministers |
|
Schon 1991 hat der kanadische Autor, John Goddard, in seinem Buch „Last Stand of the Lubicon Cree“ Folgendes bemerkt: |
| „Last Stand of the Lubicon Cree“ zeigt auf, was in Kanada passieren kann, wenn Indigene versuchen, ihre Landrechte in einem an ressourcenreichen Gebiet durchzusetzen. Wäre diese Geschichte nicht so gut dokumentiert, könnte man sie kaum glauben" |
| Der Brief von Ominayak ist mehr als nur ein Brief, er ist eine aktuelle Dokumentation dieses Falles, der die Absurdität der Lubicon Cree Situation erneut vor Augen führt. |
| Im Folgenden finden Sie eine kurze Hintergrundinformation der kanadischen Menschenrechtsorganisation, „Friends of the Lubicon (FOL)“, zum Brief von Ominayak und das ausführliche Statement selbst sowie den auslösenden Brief des Indianerministers, Andy Scott, an ein Rechtsanwaltsbüro. |

May 13, 2005 Below (“Projekte”, Kanada, Lubicon Cree; Anmerkung: Peter Schwarzbauer) is a copy of Chief Ominayak's response to a form letter on Lubicon land negotiations being sent to Lubicon supporters by Indian Affairs Minister Andy Scott. Scott's form letter, in this case to Lubicon Legal Defence Fund Trustees White and Kaplansky, is also included below. |
|
The Chief's letter outlines Lubicon positions and views on Lubicon land negotiations and concludes with Lubicon proposals regarding recommencement and conduct of Lubicon land negotiations. The Chief's letter is a cover letter to a package of materials sent to Minister Scott. Available at http://www.tao.ca/~fol/Pa/negp/po04map/po050513.htm the package sent to the Minister contains material which gives a birds-eye view of what actually transpires at the negotiating table as distinct from the way negotiations are described in self-serving form letters. |
|
The package of documents also includes Secret Justice Department "Guidelines to Federal Self-Government Negotiators" effectively instructing self-government negotiators how to negotiate in bad faith and to subvert Constitutional recognition of the inherent Aboriginal Right of Self-Government. The Lubicon people did not obtain these "Guidelines" until December of 2003 after negotiations had broken down. Taken together with the description of what actually transpires at the negotiating table it is clear in retrospect that federal negotiators were using these "Guidelines" as their script in self-government negotiations with the Lubicon people. |
|
Lubicon supporters are urged to write and/or email Prime Minister Paul Martin and Federal Indian Affairs Minister Andy Scott at the following addresses expressing outrage over the way federal negotiators have been conducting Lubicon land negotiations and supporting Lubicon proposals regarding recommencement and conduct of Lubicon land negotiations. Specifically, supporters should ask that the Government of Canada renounce the bad faith approach outlined in the "Guidelines" and instead send a negotiator with a mandate to negotiate a full and fairsettlement of Lubicon land rights in good faith. |
