I never signed my name as supporting the Region 7 Toshaos statement

Aug 26, 2012 Letters

 

Dear Sir,
Your Newspaper article of Wednesday August 15, 2012 under the caption “ Region Seven’s Toshaos blast treatment at Amerindian conference” has taken me by surprise since I never signed my name as supporting the Region Seven Toshaos statement to the media relating to the recently held National Toshao council (NTC) conference, neither was I aware of any statement to the press on behalf of the region 7 Toshaos.
The author or authors of the Region Seven Toshaos statement to the media in relation to the NTC conference never sought my consent and as such I wish to disassociate myself and the Dogg Point Amerindian community from that statement which clearly contravenes the UN declaration on the rights of Indigenous Peoples which not only Governments must uphold but also the Toshaos and village councils of Amerindian communities. In this regard the Region Seven Toshaos failed to do so with the exception of the Leader of the Dogg Point Amerindian Community.
Mr Editor, kindly publish my disassociation from the Region Seven Toshao statement to the media in relation to the recently held NTC conference since it has caused me lots of embarrassment and questioning from the residents of my community.
Helen Thomas
Leader, Dogg Point Amerindian Community
