Hollow Water First Nation continues blockade

Thursday, September 27, 2007  

The Hollow Water First Nation in Manitoba continues to block access to a new housing development amid calls for intervention.

Band members have been blocking roads since September 14. They say they weren't consulted about the development, which sits on traditional land.

Residents want the province to remove the blockades. The Progressive Conservatives party, the opposition party, is also calling on the government to take action.
