Miramichi Lake Protection
"Long ago, before settlers, we used this land. It was abundant, there was Caribou, Salmon, we called this place Nap-a-hog-gun, which means the killing place in Wolustukyik. When settlers came, they saw the abundance and asked to take some. They started logging and taking, first on a small scale, then they wanted more, took more. This land has been repeatedly violated with no time to rest. This entire watershed area is to be protected. Not for just Skigin, but all who live here. It's our fresh water source. We protected the Sisson project area. They cannot cut or spray there. We need to expand it. We are here for the heart of our land. We cannot let them poison the heart, it will be our demise. They do not have to destroy an ecosystem. This cannot and will not happen!" - Grandmother Terry Sappier
