Kwaï mziwi,
The elected members of the Abenakis of Odanak Council wanted to address you following the incident that occurred at the end of the Odanak Pow Wow on July 31. An unauthorized demonstration by the Métis group Soleil levant and its supporters generated insecurity and concern among members of the Odanak community. In no case did the Council recognize the Métis group Soleil levant nor the Abenaki Warrior Society (the leader of the Society being Tommy Gill).
The elected officials met on August 1st and two resolutions were proposed. You will find them by clicking HERE. Steps are also underway on the side of the Abenaki Police Force (CPDA) and arrests could occur.
We invite members of the community who have received threats or been victims of intimidation to file a complaint with the CPDA.
We remain at your disposal and wish to restore the climate of tranquility in Odanak,
– The elected members of the Abenakis of Odanak Council
