Fed up with broken promises, members of the Cheam Nation began blocakading the South entrance of the Rosedale Bridge, North of Vancouver BC in mid-April. The nation, which takes issues with the general use of their traditional areas, resorted tro direct action to compel the government to act in good faith after alienation in the treaty talks with the BC government. The blocakde is at a critical point and interested supporters are asked to contact the Cheam Nation, (604) 794-7924; cheamfirstnation@yahoo.com. www.geocities.com/cheamfirstnation.
