Document Summary
Fight for it every day; bring arguments to the table every day of the week. Believe the cree wanted to obtain self-government and control over the area. They discredited quebec; they live on quebec land; they are part of quebec and should be supporting what they want to do: describe the agreement between the government of quebec and the cree signed in 1975. Asked cree to put names on piece of paper that gave them rights. The cree and inuit gave up; they only got to keep the close surrounding lands near their villages. Robert kennedy jr. same thing that has been happening for 500 years; cared about the quebec. Indians more than the american indians -brought the grand chief of the cree to new york. The project will be an environmental, human rights and economic disaster. Get rid of polluting plants; get electricity produced by new yorkers.
