dear sir:
My name is Yvan P. St Jean, I am the
General Manager of a non-profit organisation called
"Cultural Foundation Native Eexpressions (CFNE)".
Preserving 'First Nations' cultural values, heritage
for aboriginal people here in Prescott Russell.
Sounds simple ... not really
-5 yrs to zone an ecologically and culturaly sound project
-municipal documents with discriminatory comments
-mocking elderly aboriginal in long term care facilities
-calling the wives of our members 'squaw' in the workplace
-individuals trying to use your own (OPP) officers to have
'me' arrested to stop a 2003 'National Aboriginal Day'
event celebration here in Bourget when the Federal Statute
supports it and all criteria had been met.
-some of our regions elected official intentionally avoid us to
this day and they don't answer their mail, even after these
docunments have beeen published by several local newspapers
others refuse to respect our rights under the 'Jay Treaty'
-we even have a 'Metis' gentleman* here running an unauthorised
regional office for the Ontario Metis Aboriginal Association
(OMAA) @ 1084 County Road # 2 IN CURRAN Ontario
he's putting up signage on his property to this effect
-this Metis gentleman* seems involved with protecting the
UNITED STEEL WORKERS of AMERICA local # 9211
(Providing protection for them with the aid of one of his
family members in the EMPLOY of of the RCMP Display Unit)
re: 'matters of discrimination, elder abuse and harrasement'
-is this same gentleman* is organising his own fringe group
that seemingly opposes CFNE's work in the region
-this gentleman* has also sent a threatening letter to one of
CFNE's first nations cultural advisors,
in this letter he claims beeing supported by both OMAA
and the Aboriginal liason Unit of the RCMP
-Fran Heath of the Ontario Metis Aboriginal Association's
legal department is aware of this, you should ask her if
OMAA supports this type of activity.
-I've also placed two telephone calls to Wayne Russet,
Aboriginal and Ethnic officer with the RCMP. He seemed very
concerned about the identity of the RCMP display unit's employee
involvement in these issues and was definately not impressed.
-there seems to be SERIOUS concerns about aboriginal ending up
unemployed here in the Prescott Russell area especially if
they appear in the local Media (supporting CFNE)
or if they voice concerns about elder abuse or quality of
care in long term care facilities of this region
-Why are these issues usually ignored or buried, where
aboriginals are concerned in Prescott Russell?
I didn,t know that advocating for a few basic human rights
can be discrimated against here in our region.
Cultural Foundation Native Expressions is at crucial stage of
development and will be holding both an open house as well as
Cultural Activities for two consecutive weekends starting on
September 10th 2005. It would be most appreciated that your
on site presence would occur during these events.
A portion of the corroborative documents are also beeing sent
via facsimile (FAX) at 613 283 3451 today.
An e-mail copy of this letter and facsimile shall be sent to
Constable Wayne Russet of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police
tomorrow on August 30 th 2005.
Hoping to hear from you soon

Stéphane P. Parisien ... "As General Manger for CFNE, I am now getting pummelled with
grumblings of Protests against the U C P & R , it seems that many citizens are fed up with CFNE being treated as if we were just another token INDIAN thing.
It is shocking to see how many people in this region care,

Inspector Mac Pherson
I am forwarding this e-mail to you sir, after discussions last week
with Staff Sgt. Brian Carty, of the Smith Falls OPP Detachment.
So many issues have come to light recently, that it is getting
overwhelming, there is something really wrong here in Prescott
Russell .
Fear on both sides of this issue, causes individuals to react badly, because we (Aboriginals)are seen as insignificant as per the article published on September 26th, 2007, in the Vankleek Hill Review.
A copy of this article will be sent to you via facsimile to your your attention this morning.
CFNE, is also in possession of 2 Live DVD Cogeco community Cable
Television Broadcast. They contain live monthly sessions of the
United Counties of Prescott & Russell council meetings.
-Two serious aboriginal issues are seen there.
i live broadcast mockery of the Algonquin land claim negociations
ii evidence of a cover ups, regarding previous impediments against CFNE's community development initiatives is also highly visible
iii (May 22nd 2007 broadcast) clearly demonstrates confusion and spindoctoring to cover up and confuse all minority issues
Other information brought to our attention over the weekend still
demonstrates that the situation here in Prescott and Russell area is far from being as perfect as it seems.
Thank you for allowing us to bring this to your attention.
Niawen - Thank You,
Respectfully

and Council Members of the
United Counties of Prescott & Russell
Good afternoon Mr Parisien
Thank you for your resolution Strong Moral support.
However
Your published comments in the September 26th, edition of the
Vankleek Hill Review demonstrate that your misinformed.
Your statements were very damaging to us, because potential sponsors and donors want to cut and run.
Because you profess that ''We are dedicated to providing professional services to all members of the community in a respectful manner. I expect the same in return''.
Now you have to deal with the truth about your own misinformation
as per documents and records in U C P & R files.
i) re the Assembly of First Nations (AFN)
-the Cultural Foundation Native Expressions Board of Directors
IS NOT INVOLVED WITH REPRESENTING THE AFN nor have we ever
professed to do so
CFNE can not figure out out it's Relavent to us
ii) re The Department of Indian and Northern Affairs (DIAND)Canada
(a Elders procured from DIAND's Kumik Lodge will provide
Accuracy in the delivery of CFNE Cultural Awareness Programs
Kumik Lodge, a Canada wide source for Elders for Aboriginal
Cultural Awareness and Professional Educational Programs
** the DIAND's Kumik Lodge & CFNE info is on file with Mr
Sylvain Charlebois department at U C P & R since march 17, 2005
(b DIAND's Community Economic Opportunities Programs
give Aboriginal community groups assistance Canada wide
Aboriginal Tourism Canada THROUGH the 'Aboriginal Tourism
Association of Southern Ontario' has been PRE Marketing
the Onkweonwenéha, CFNE's 'aboriginal ways' theme for our
Traditional Aboriginal Village and Community Cultural Centre.
Subsequent to their pre marketing campaign,
** ATASO reports (2) with regards to CFNE appear on file with
Mr Charlebois department at U C P & R since April 4th, 2006
(c other DIAND sponsered groups ARE also assisting CFNE
1/3 of CFNE's 15 member Community Cultural Advisory Committee
residing here in the Prescott Russell joined us via DIAND,
iii) re Your Algonquin land claims statement about CFNE
This is irrelevent
CFNE HAS IT'S OWN LAND, PROPERLY, PROCURED VIA A
LEASE HOLDERS AGREEMENT, WE DON'T NEED to CLAIM MORE
During the CFNE presentation to your council on June 19th 2007.
I did emphasise the fact that CFNE is not an ''Indian only Club''.
IT WAS ALSO STRONGLY REQUESTED that the UCP&R APPOINT A
LAISON OFFICER from it,s staff TO AVOID ALL FUTURE MISINFORMATION
AND COMMUNICATIONS ERRORS between the United Counties of
Prescott & Russell and the Aboriginal Community Membership that Cultural Foundation Native Expressions represents.
Frustrations . . .
As General Manger for CFNE, I am now getting pummelled with
grumblings of Protests against the U C P & R , it seems that many citizens are fed up with CFNE being treated as if we were just another token INDIAN thing.
It is shocking to see how many people in this region care,
but when non Aboriginals get upset also, it's scary.
This was discussed three times with the Eastern Region Headquarters of the OPP in Smith Falls since this tuesday.
Given the aggravation caused by recent events, it is now
your obligation to have a 'liaison officer' appointed before
this situation reaches the point of no return.
It,s a credibility issue for both sides, but you are responsible.
Given the powers of the position you hold, it is your immediate
responsibility to work with us, so we no longer appear to be
ridiculed by you and your council sir.
CFNE hopes you will have this finally sorted out by noon
next Wednesday, October 10th.
Awaiting your response.
