Today, three of us went to stand in solidarity with the Aboriginal Grannies vigil outside MPP Jeff Leal's office at City Centre, King Street, in downtown Peterborough, Ontario. Audrey said a prayer and sang a song to support the people jailed for trying to protect their land at Kitchenuhmaykoosib Inninuwag First Nation (the KI 6) in north-western Ontario, and in Algonquin territory near Ottawa, Ontario. If you want to join us, just show up outside Jeff Leal's office on Wednesdays at 2:00 p.m. You don't have to say or do anything - just be present, in solidarity with Aboriginal women who believe that praying and singing to the Creator provides a path towards peace and gives strength to those who must suffer incarceration as a result of unjust court systems.
