Protect Endangered Forests! Respect Native Rights!

Sponsored by: Rainforest Action Network
2,500 square miles of forests, lakes and rivers north of Kenora, Ontario have sustained the people of Grassy Narrows First Nation for thousands of years. Now Weyerhaeuser, the largest lumber company in the world, is turning the American dream of building a home into a native nightmare in Canada.

Massive deforestation threatens to uproot the Grassy Narrows First Nation's traditional way of life.

Rainforest Action Network and the people of Grassy Narrows First Nation need your support. Demand the immediate termination of profiting from destructive logging without consent from the community

deadline: 4-7-2007
goal: 20,000

Restore and respect all rights and treaties of the Native Americans. They are our role models and discoverers of America despite all the hype.
