Chief Turtle and the other chiefs in the Land Defence Alliance are, like Mayor Baigrie, the heads of local governments.
I was honoured and humbled to attend the First Nations Land Defence Alliance's rally against nuclear waste in Thunder Bay on April 30. Informed, passionate speakers from communities at risk from the Nuclear Waste Management Organization’s proposed transport and burial of nuclear fuel waste travelled up to 500 km to be present. Over 100 residents of Thunder Bay and area turned out to welcome them.
Chief Turtle's community of Grassy Narrows is well-known for the calamitous mercury contamination of its waterways by industry effluents allowed to flow into the Wabigoon River system a short way upstream, brought to light in the 1970s. Community residents continue to suffer the devastating effects today.
Chief Turtle has asked for a meeting with NWMO - but, no luck. He would like to meet with NWMO CEO Laurie Swami. After all, Swami has been in his neighbourhood recently, to look on with satisfaction as Ignace Mayor Kim Baigrie signed the NWMO’s “Hosting Agreement” for the Twp. of Ignace.
