March 3rd, 2007 at 19:54Members of the Grassy Narrows First Nation, who have been physically blocking logging companies’ access to their lands since 2002, are in the midst of a 2,000 mile journey from their home in northwestern Ontario to confront Weyerhaeuser at its headquarters in Federal Way, WA. The blockade is the longest running in recorded Canadian history. This afternoon they met their supporters in Edmonton. Their story is disturbing but inspirational, and they will be telling it next Sunday at the University Friends Meeting House in Seattle.
