The Lac La Ronge Indian Band plans to slow down traffic on the main highway through La Ronge on June 29th.

 

Chief Tammy Cook-Searson says the band council decided earlier this week that a peaceful protest was the best way to mark the national day of action First Nations will be staging.

 

Cook-Searson says her band will use the demonstration to educate the public about the treaties by handing out pamphlets to motorists.

 

However, she says they won’t be blocking traffic.

 

The Prince Albert Grand Council plans to hold a march through Prince Albert on June 29th.
