Capital Power shut down, message sent to NextEra over eagles

By Chase Jarrett, Writer | Turtle Island News

An almost three dozen car caravan shut down four Capital Power sites and delivered a powerful message to a fifth NextEra site outside of Hagersville Thursday.

 Both companies are constructing wind turbines on Six Nations treaty lands.

 “We delivered a message today that when they (NextEra) cut down the eagle’s nest, it was a violation to us against Creation,” said Hazel Hill, interim director of the Haudenosaunee Development Institute (HDI). “So we’re here to deliver a really strong message today that if they continue with these types of actions we’ll be shutting them down as well.”[Turtle Island News]
