January 06, 1992, letter to Tom Siddon from Ontario resident L. Harper


Dear Mr. Siddon:

RE:  the one page document entitled STATUS OF LUBICON LAKE CLAIM

It's hard for me to comprehend why anyone for any reason would resort to
outright lies in order to uphold a position designed to destroy the
integrity and the inherent rights of another fellow human being(s).

Sadly, in the past, people in your position have often made quite a career
out of it and in relation to the Lubicon Cree Nation it would seem you are
destined to follow suit.

Fortunately, for the growing number of World Citizens who prefer the truth
to lies, there are books like John Goddard's most recent "Last Stand of the
Lubicon".  So there is no real need for me to reiterate what has already
been stated clearly by Mr. Goddard and many others.  Every point made in
your above document is historically incorrect and shamelessly untrue.

I feel it necessary to say, in case the obvious for some reason has passed
you by that if this is the last stand for the Lubicon Cree than perhaps
this is also the last stand for the Earth.  "As above so below", but
however you choose to interpret it, the reality of our own lives is before
us like a huge mirror and reflected back this time is the Lubicon, a
reminder of what we will all lose if the Lubicon go down along with the
forests of Northern Alberta.

Do you have children Mr. Siddon and grandchildren?  What will it be like
for them to have nothing but a concrete jungle to play in?  Will it take
the suffering of our own children the destruction of our own way of life
and all we hold sacred as with the Lubicon before we realize that there is
a Law that transcends all material considerations, an indisputable Law that
recognizes and records every transgression against any living creature be
it plant, mineral, animal, or human.  In this Law of Creation, none of us
are exempt and we will all pay regardless of our colour, creed or position.

I truly hope when the Great Circle comes around, we are all ready.  I can
already hear the grinding of the Wheel.

Sincerely,

L. Harper
