Thank you for your attention. Sincerely, Ed. Bianchi * * * * * Text of Petition attached to above letter RESPECT LUBICON SOVEREIGNTY With the complicity of the Canadian federal government and the Alberta provincial government, DAISHOWA, a multi-national forestry company, is clear-cutting Lubicon land. We, the undersigned, understand that this decision to sell Lubicon land violates Lubicon sovereignty. We know that logging, and oil and gas development, are destroying the Lubicon way of life and amounts to cultural genocide. We ask that Lubicon sovereignty be respected and that all development stop until the Lubicon land claim is settled.
