A variety of mortuary practices are evident on Turtle Island. Native
scaffold and tree burial were not uncommon. For a time Mound burial
was practiced in some areas. "Spirit Houses" were built over the
remains of another sector or the aboriginal First Peoples of what some
now call North America. The Iroquois used humation (burial) for their
mortuary traditions.
What was held in common was the respect for the departed and belief
in a after life. We find parallels in most other cultures and
religions around the world. The reverence for the departed is said to
be the sign of an advanced society, the reverence is also said is what
separates us from the animal kingdom.
Where I hail from, a small village in Ontario the difficult in
locating now forgotten burial grounds of The first People&s is a
difficult task. On top of that there is a lack of reverence and
concern from certain members of the community. I have spent countless
hours reading archival accounts and talking with people. Yet progress
is slow.
Imagine my dismay then on finding out about Kerry Settlement in the
United Counties Prescott Russell. It certainly is a mystery, and
mysteries for historians are hard to ignore.
Accounts indicate a number of Natives where buried here. The
headstones have been cited as proof. To add to the mystery is the
question of why the headstones were removed and buried. Accounts also
indicate that the memorial stones were arranged in such a manner as to
point to another Native burial site. I believe there is a pig farm on
that site at this point in time, which is in the same counties.
So why was there not more effort put into preserving and learning
about this historical and sacred site? Why is so little effort put
into preserving other site, whether burial or of other historical
significance? Why does concern for business seem to win out when the
sacred is concerned. And why, just why, can another society observe
what is sacred and holy to them and ignore, even trample another&s
belief ?
I expect that some of these questions will be answered when we reach
the Spirit World.
Regardless of that, I would like some answers now.

Subject: MPP Mr Jean Marc Lalonde of the Glengary and Prescott Russell Region
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2009 09:46:10 -0800
Documents and witnesses reveal Mr Pommainvilles' former Councillor Gary Bradley of the Nation Municipality was involved in the organizing of meetings and petitions against the First Nations and Metis Project Cultural Foundation Native Expressions. This ties him directly to Nicole Lortie a former journalist for local newspaper Le Reflect. She has made public statements against the First Nations and Metis People of the UCPR Region and the CFNE project.
Further to this OMB files containing what seem like more discrimination related to again Nicole Lortie and co., were pulled from the OMB file system, isn't this considered tampering of OMB files?
Documents reveal that Jean Marc Lalonde was informed and well aware of the discrimination related to the First Nations and Metis People and the Cultural Foundation Native Expressions in the UCPR. Why he chose not to assist is difficult to say. The morality of ones' soul is individual. He chose to cover it up.
Documents reveal that both Don Boudria and Mr Jean Marc Lalonde were informed and aware of the nursing home scandal. We here at CFNE cannot find any documentation received from either of these politicians following up on that situation. Why is that?
http://www12.statcan.gc.ca/english/census06/data/trends/table_1.cfm?T=CSD&PRCODE=35&GEOCODE=02025&tid=0&tidval=0&GEOLVL=CMA
The facts are this: According to the governments own statistics, although the real number is most likely much higher than this; The number of reported aboriginals is up from 1.2 in 2001 to 2.2 in 2006. That is an increase of 83% and it is now 2009! At that rate of growth the aboriginal population in 2009 would be over 4% by the governments own statistics! Which are without a doubt extremely conservative. Was Mr Lalonde unaware of these stats?
30 to 40% of our region are and or have First Nations and or Metis ancestry. Why does he continually choose to ignore this?
More documents reveal that both Pierre Lemieux and Jean Marc Lalonde were well aware of the aquisition of the sale and land purchases of Mr
Pommainvilles' own land for the Calypso Water Park.
In fact Mr Lalonde went to bat for this project for a 2 million dollar grant from the province to the Nation Municipality and Quebec-based Village Vacance Valcartier. Village Vacance Valcartier has partners like Coca-cola and Johnson. These are rich corporations. Why are taxpayers money going to projects of private big Corporations? While a small aboriginal-multicultural non-profit charitable organization gets nothing but discrimination and endures tremendous travesties.....
Mr Jean Marc Lalonde attempts to justify the grant based on bilingualism??? What kind logic is that? Since the amalgamation Barhaven is considered part of the City of Ottawa.
Ottawa is in fact, considered a bilingual city.
Seems then Pro-Slide owners of Alottawa Water Park should apply for and receive the same grant based on bilingualism as well.
It is unrealistic for Jean Marc lalonde to think that Calypso Water Park will be a bigger draw based on bilingualism. They lose hands down because Limoges is not the Capital City of our Great Country Canada, Ottawa Ontario is. The tourists are naturally drawn to this Great City. His justifications based on bilingualism is a losing battle.
And if this is not enough Jean Marc Lalonde keeps trying to change the UCPR region by allowing big Green and White Franco-Ontarian Flags to fly over the traditional hunting and fishing grounds of the First Nation and Metis Peoples of our region. The UCPR is not a French Territory!
It is interesting to note that one does not see the Ontario or Canadian Flag along side these Franco Flags, considering all the governmental taxpayers funds that get sunk into the UCPR region, where are our provincial and country flags? If you fly a flag of one culture, should you not also flags of other cultures as well? Cornwall chose wisely not to fly the big Green Flags, it would be implying other cultures do not exist.
Jean Marc Lalonde has also attempted a second time to change the UCPRs' regional name via a private members bill to reflect the French. With 0 public consultations. 0 surveys. With 0 input from local First Nations or Metis Groups or any other group as a matter of fact, for example the English population....Is this not undemocratic?
We here at Cultural Foundations Native Expressions feel we have alot of goodness to offer our region and do not wish to be excluded anymore. Seems we are good enough to be promoted by the Disney Corporation via the Disney Video Sites, just not good enough for Mr Jean Marc Lalonde to promote us to the Province.

We must be equitable to all cultures in Canada! His lack of respect for the First Nations and Metis and the Project Cultural Foundation Native Expressions of our region is unacceptable.....

We here at CFNE have no alternative but to question the ethics and integrity of this mans' governance. And are taking the necessary steps to have his governance reviewed. All files are in the process of being forwarded to MPP Lisa MacLeod.
We saw Premier McGuinty on CHCH TV today he stated " Is absolutely essential we invest in the youth of today" I hope he means all of Ontarios' youth.

Mayor Denis Pommainville made a public statement that the Cultural Foundation Native Expressions Project was moving like a canoe; not like a vehicle on the 417".
We here at CFNE did some investigating and this is what we learned.

Is this what the Nations' Mayor Denis Pommainville meant? Our late Gen Mgr., and co-founder Mr Yvan St Jean of Cultural Foundation Native Expressions was not a close friend or relative to any of the politicians affiliated to the CIHA. Nor did he have any affiliation to the production L'echo D'un Peuple. Is this the reason why Mayor Pommainville felt the First Nations and Metis Project CFNE was moving like a canoe???
There is absolutely no possible way that MP Pierre Lemieux or MPP Jean Marc Lalonde can deny any of this information or the information related to the CIHA, documents do not lie!
The whip cream on top of all this is that the production L'echo d'un Peuple just received another 20 thousand dollar grant last month....
http://thereview.ca/category/channel/your-community/prescott-russell
Just out of curiousity is it normal for an MP to state that he would be first in line to make a private donation to a production like L'echo D'un Peuple? Does this not in itself represent a bias?

Here is something for these politicians to ponder....just how many Inuit, Metis or First Nations' Youth do you suppose will want to attend the CIHA in the United Counties Of Prescott and Russell?
