We invite our Brothers, Sisters, Friends and Allies to a:

CONCERT FRIDAY, JUNE 16TH, AT SIX NATIONS (Chiefswood Park), STARTING AT NOON

As you know, we are trying to reclaim all our land and to stop the illegal construction of a housing project on Six Nations land. The reclamation started on February 28th, 2006 and will continue for sometime to come. We need your continued help, solidarity and support to stand with us. Our Indigenous artists would be honored to entertain all our brothers, sisters, friends and allies by inviting you all to a Benefit Concert in Support of Six Nations. Admittance to the concert will be by cash donation.

We appreciate all the Indigenous artists and musicians who have already signed up. We continue to call on our fellow musicians, entertainers and artists to perform. You will have until May 31, 2006 to confirm your availability and support for that day. We are still looking for performers in traditional, contemporary, rock and roll, country, rap, blues, drummers and so on.

All performers know that they will be doing this on their own dime. Well known Indigenous Actor, Gary Farmer,(Pow Wow Highway, Smoke Signals) and Indigenous Actress/Singer Chevei Maracle have confirmed their support as MC for this benefit. You are all welcome to come, support us and enjoy some of the finest Indigenous talent. Rest assured there will be plenty of food and camping space available. Indigenous artists can make a difference. Let's all take a stand together.

IT’S FOR ALL OUR CHILDREN AND THEIR FUTURE. WE NEED TO REMEMBER WHERE WE CAME FROM. We need to rally behind Six Nations and the People.

Please send this on to your fellow Indigenous Musicians, Artists, Entertainers, etc. We want to show Unity among our Peoples and our supporters across Canada. LET’S TURN THIS INTO AN INDIGENOUS “WOODSTOCK FOR UNITY” TO STOP THEFT AND INJUSTICES ON OUR NATIVE LAND.

NEEDED: donations of large tents for dancers, security, sound equipment, stage, medical supplies, hats, light weight shirts, water, wood, cash, lawn chairs, fresh nutritious food, home made plates, baked goods, meats. We want everybody to eat well.

One gentleman has already donated a whole cow, for a big beef roast. Keep up the great work everyone. Is there anyone out there willing to donate a pig or two for roasting as well??????

Please contact our Events Coordinator, Tuesday Johnson-MacDonald, of TAP Resources (519-445-1794) tapresources@bellnet.ca on how you can help, and where to send donations, food, etc.
