Ojibwe man facing charges after blockade in Gaspé – APTN News

September 7, 2017

An Ojibwe man is facing a number of charges after being arrested at a blockade in Mi’gmaq territory.

Freddy Stoneypoint said he was helping land protectors in eastern Québec who are trying to put a stop to oil exploration.

“It’s come down, but luckily there’s a new stronghold at the river camp,” Stoneypoint told APTN National News.

Stoneypoint was arrested at the barricade on August 14 when Québec provincial police had it dismantled.

Now he’s facing charges including theft, and trespassing.
