 About recent events at Barriere Lake:
For twenty difficult years, the small Algonquin community of Barriere Lake, 5 hours north of Montreal, has been struggling to hold the government to their word. In 1991, they signed a resource co-management and sustainable development agreement with Canada and Quebec to protect Algonquin practices o­n the land, to conserve the forest and wildlife, and to improve their dire economic situation. Instead of fulfilling their obligations, the Department of Indian Affairs has been playing divide and rule in Barriere Lake, wreaking havoc in the community by ousting the traditional Customary Chief Council and illegally appointing a more favourable faction as the leadership.http://www.barrierelakesolidarity.blogspot.com/
