Treaty 8 Justice for the Peace Caravan

"The circle stirred a lot of emotions within me and throughout the day I could feel the big cry trying to surface from deep within my belly. I cried over pancakes as we talked with the MP about the Peace River, I cried holding the megaphone at the Bell Tower. My first instinct was, I need to go to the water. I need someone to take me to the river so I could give this grief away and find my grounding again to continue forward on this emotional journey. And then I thought.. What happens if they build this dam? What will I do then? Will I take myself to the dam to find healing? Will the reservoir hold my grief? And then I wanted to cry more."

"Why don't they respect and follow their own constitution? Section 35. Existing aboriginal treaty rights," Bellegarde said in an interview with The Canadian Press.

The project also goes against Trudeau government's pledge to have a nation-to-nation relationship, Bellegarde added, noting it involves flooding a valley where indigenous people have lived, hunted, trapped, fished and gathered medicines.

"It really comes back to building a healthy, respectful relationship with indigenous peoples and we just don't see it happening here in this instance," he said.
