The Grassy Narrows First Nation in Ontario says it has erected a blockade to protest logging activity on traditional land.
Tribal members say loggers are damaging their trapping equipment. The band's deputy chief wants the Abitibi Consolidated logging company to consult with the tribe.
The company says it has suspended logging pending the results of an investigation into the trappers' claims.
