     '. Last weekend I atttended a 
     
     presentation, by representatives 
     
    
   
   
    
     _ of the Innu nation, the indiginous 
     
    
   
   
    
     | people of Nitassinan (parts of 
     
     Labrador and northern Quebec) 
     
    
   
   
    
     about their struggle to stop low— 
     
     level warplane test flights over 
     
     their land. They showed great 
     
    
   
   
    
     !ycourage to speak to strangers 
     
     | about their hardships in oppos- 
     
     | ing the destruction of their cul- 
     
     )) ture and way of life. 
     
    
   
   
    
     Our federal government is ex- 
     
     posing its hypocrisy by invit- 
     
     ing NATO to use labrador for 
     
     its training. Mulroney becomes 
     
     an “environmentalsit” and makes 
     
     peace propasals to Gorbachov 
     
     and Bush, while NATO practices 
     
     offensive War Games, destroying 
     
     sections of labrador designated as 
     
     bombing ranges and terrorizing 
     
     the Innu people with the extreme 
     
     noise of fighter jets roaring by as 
     
    
   
   
    
     low as 30 meters overhead. 
     
    

    
     At the same time, Mulroney 
     
     ignores all pleas and propasals 
     
     to continue and increase the use- 
     
     ful work of the Search and REs- 
     
     cue Squadron at CFB Summer- 
     
     side. Islanders must not accept 
     
     plans for huge expenditures of 
     
     federal money for the militariza- 
     
     tion (destruction) of Labrador, 
     
     when Summerside is being sacri- 
     
     ficed for deficit reduction. 
     
    

    
     The Innu people have filed 
     
     for legal injucntions to stop the 
     
     NATO training program which 
     
     the federal government intends to 
     
     announce in December. Dona-
