PLANE CRASH IN NORTH SPIRIT LAKE FIRST NATION ELICITS DEEPEST SYMPATHIES FROM AIAI

For Immediate Release:

January 11, 2012

London, ON – The Association of Iroquois and Allied Indians (AIAI) offers its heart-felt condolences to the families, friends and community of the North Spirit Lake First Nation following yesterday’s tragic plane crash near their northwestern Ontario community. 

Such events have an even greater impact on First Nation communities, given their size and connectedness.  Deputy Grand Chief Gord Peters offered, “Our thoughts and prayers go out to the victims and their families during this difficult period.”

AIAI is mandated as a political territorial organization to defend and enhance the Aboriginal and Treaty rights of its eight member First Nations.  Visit them online at www.aiai.on.ca , www.facebook.com/aiai.pto , http://twitter.com/#!/AIAI_Comms , www.youtube.com/user/AIAIAdmin .
