Dear Mayor Reimer:
The Lubicon people have learned that Edmonton Telephones is
considering placing a $3 million telephone book newsprint order
with a Daishowa subsidiary in the United States named Daishowa of
Port Angeles, Washington. We ask that you use the influence of
your good office to encourage Edmonton Telephones to place this
order with some company not associated with Daishowa.
We make this request because Daishowa intends to obtain trees for
its paper mills from the unceded Lubicon territory, through
another Daishowa subsidiary named Brewster Construction, contrary
to an agreement with the Lubicon people that it will not try to
log in our unceded traditional territory until there is a
settlement of Lubicon land rights. We also make this request
because Daishowa's bleached-kraft Peace River pulp mill uses a
process for producing pulp now generally acknowledged to create
toxins that threaten human life.
Attached for your information are materials pertaining to
Daishowa's bleached-kraft Peace River pulp mill, the
environmental consequences of the process it uses and Daishowa's
agreement with the Lubicon people. If you have any question
about these materials or require additional information, I can be
reached through Fred Lennarson's office in Edmonton, 3536 -106
Street, T6J 1A4; telephone number 436-5652; fax number 437-0719.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Bernard Ominayak, Chief
Lubicon Lake Indian Nation
