The Aboriginal Rights Coalition Atlantic (ARC-A) is a regional coalition of Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal Atlantic Canadians working together towards justice with First Nations peoples through education, research, advocacy and action. ARC-A recognizes and honours First Nations land, Aboriginal and Treaty Rights in Atlantic Canada, which are also recognized in the Canadian Constitution and have been upheld in the courts. We oppose development projects carried out without free, prior and informed consent in indigenous territory and strive to awaken Canadian society to our collective treaty and Constitutional responsibilities with First Nations people. ARC-A stands in solidarity with the People of Elsipogtog Mi’kmaq First Nation and the grassroots Indigenous people of Wabanaki as they assert their legal Aboriginal rights and responsibilities to their traditional territory and resources by non-violently opposing shale gas exploration in Kent County, New Brunswick. We join our voices with the coalition of Mi’Kmaq, Maliseet, Passamaquoddy, Acadian and other Maritimers raising their voices to protect Mother Earth. wabanakilegaldefence.wordpress/resources/
