STATEMENT
FROM LARRY W. GREEN
November 27, 2003
 When
we lit the Ancestors' Sacred Fire in the Red Hill Valley,
the original Firepeople made it clear that no road should
be built through there. The Iroquois Confederacy posted
that land and supported the Firepeople's freedom to exercise
our indigenous rights in the Red Hill Valley that are governed
by treaties.
I
am taking this action to insist that the Crown prevent its
people from building the expressway, to protect my rights
and the rights of my future generations to enjoy this part
of our country free from any threat.
As
an heir and descendant of those Iroquois People who entered
into treaty with the Crown, it is my duty and responsibility
as a citizen of the Iroquois People to act in the best interests
of my heirs and descendants. This is all I have to say at
this time.
Larry
W. Green
