In June 2009 the Peruvian government signed a free trade agreement with Canada. Shortly after this signing, members of an Indigenous tribe working to prevent mining on their traditional

Many of the mining companies invested in this area are Canadian and their continued interest in foreign resources is negatively impacting the safety and livelihoods of many Indigenous people. To learn more about this issue and to support the people of the Peruvian Amazon please join us on February 27! There will be a solidarity benefit dance featuring the music of Oye and John C Cook.
