Lac La Ronge Indian Band
Dear Tammy,
It has been drawn to my attention that you have been secretly organising to make Brabant Lake a reserve. People have been given instructiond not to tell us.
If these rumours are true then it is incumbent for everyone to hear both sides including the benefits of not being a reserve and being instead a viable community this far North. We are working at making this a town for everyone and a centre of opportunity without racist tones. You and the band could be partners in this process or you could turn back the clock and have another racist enclave destroying from within.
Today we criticise alleged secret deals od the past while some tribe members were away. There is no justification for secret deals today. We have done our share of building this community in many ways. We and everyone deserve a frank and ipen discussion.
I am very will to meet with you on this issue . However I did want it in writing that we want open discision making.
Sincerely,
Mrs. Gay Caswell
Brabant Lake
