Milton Born With A Tooth is a Canadian political activist for First Nations rights. He first came to widespread notoriety in 1990, when the Alberta government sought to dam the Oldman River, which would have flooded Peigan burial grounds. Born With A Tooth led the Blackfoot warrior society in diverting the river away from the dam, using an excavator. On August 2 of that year, a heavily armed Royal Canadian Mounted Police contingent arrived, and shots were fired. Born With A Tooth was arrested and charged with endangering lives and assaulting eighty officers.〔(1993 statement by Milton Born With A Tooth ) at NativeWeb.org〕 He was convicted and spent four and a half years in prison.〔(2006 followup on Milton Born With A Tooth at OttawaCore.com ) (via archive.org)〕 Karen Gainer was the defence lawyer for Milton Born With A Tooth between 1990 and 1994.〔''Calgary Herald'', 11 March 1994〕 ==References== 〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア(Wikipedia)』 ■ウィキペディアで「Milton Born with a Tooth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
