A Declaration of Nishnawbe - Aski (The People and the Land) Year Published:  1977   Pages:  9pp   Resource Type:  Article/Report/Letter Abstract:  'A Declaration of Nishnawbe-Aski' is a declaration of Independence delivered by the Chiefs of Grand Council Treaty #9, to Premier William Davies, and his cabinet on Wednesday, July 6, 1977. This declaration speaks to the cultural genocide to which the Nishnawbe-Aski have been subjected, and states that they are unwilling to experience this any longer. In order for them to regain freedom, it is mandatory that the Nishnawbe-Aski have the right to govern their spiritual, cultural, social and economic affairs. Of ultimate concern is the use of the earth. The Nishnawbe-Aski are a people of the land, and it is therefore vital that the earth be treated with respect and concern. Exploitation of her resources must stop; this land is the heritage which they give to their children. The Declaration mentions the necessity of re-negotiating Treaty #9 and lists the inalienable rights of the Nishnawbe-Aski. Topics Aboriginal Issues Native Peoples
