A
Nation
is not Conquered
until the
Hearts
of its
Women
are on the
Ground,
then it is done,
no matter how brave
its Warriors
nor how strong
the
Weapons.

~Since 11 December, 2012, Chief Theresa Spence of the Attawapistkat First Nation
has been on Hunger Strike. On behalf of her people and all First Nations, Chief Spence
has requested a meeting with Prime Minister Stephen Harper to discuss Canadian
treatment of First Nation's people. Too date, this meeting has not been granted.
In the name of Justice and Compassion this meeting needs to take place, and
open dialogue must begin, for the benefit of all. This issue not only affects those in Canada,
but its consequences are far-reaching.
To Chief Theresa Spence: Our thoughts and prayers are with you. May God continue to hold
you in the palm of His mighty hand.~May your Light continue to shine and be a continual Beacon of Hope to
all peoples of First Nations. ~Beannaichte'!
