December 20, 1991, letter to Tom Hamaoka from Toronto Friends of the
Lubicon
Dear Mr. Hamaoka:
Enclosed you will find the names of 1,835 people who are asking you to
respect Lubicon Sovereignty by stopping all forestry activity, and all
plans for forestry activity, in the Lubicon territory, until there is a
settlement of Lubicon land rights, and until Lubicon environmental and
wildlife concerns are dealt with.
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.
