	abstract = {n January, the Athabasca Chipewyan First Nation (ACFN) signed onto the Save the Fraser Declaration offering support to the Yinka Dene Alliance (YDA) and those opposing the Enbridge Northern Gateway pipelines. The YDA are now travelling by train on the Freedom Train tour from northern BC to Toronto, Ont. for Enbridge{\textquoteright}s AGM on May 9 to enforce their legal ban on the Enbridge Northern Gateway oil pipelines. We at ACFN understand what is at stake for them, as our homelands are at the centre of the tar sands developments that are fueling this controversy.

Throughout a vast tract of our traditional lands, the lands, air and waters upon which our people depend for our culture and livelihood are being devastated to extract the very bitumen that would be shipped through pipelines to the West Coast. In Alberta, ACFN are challenging two tar sands proposals by Shell Oil: one to expand the existing Jackpine Mine and the Pierre River Mine, another new open pit tar sands mine. },
