Above Ottawa CBC News: Earlier, some protesters
attempted to block the door to the Langevin building where the meeting
was being held. Chiefs from Manitoba spread tobacco on the steps to
"protect" their people, and several dozen women linked arms to try to stop people from entering. When Coon Come entered despite their pleas, one woman broke down in tears.
"I know there's times for small groups to meet. But now is not the
time," another woman said. "Today's the day to stand for our ancestors
... there will be other prime ministers to meet with. The gold in the
land is not going away. The water is not going to go away," she added,
to cheers from the crowd |
