The IAA and Indian bands across Alberta have thrown their support behind the blockade of a rural road near the town of Oka, Quebec by Mohawk Warriors.
The Lubicon Indians of northern Alberta were one of the first bands from the province to publicly offer their support to the Montreal area Indian band on Kanesatake Reserve.
"The Mohawks have been given no choice but to exercise the internationally recognized right of self-defense," said Lubicon Chief Bernard Ominayak, who hopes the dispute can be settled without more violence.
