Dear Mr. Kawamura:

Thank you for your letter of June 9, 1998.

Although it's been a long time coming, the Lubicons acknowledge and accept DMI's public commitment that Daishowa, its related companies and their contractors, will not harvest or purchase timber from the approximately 4,000 square mile (10,000 square kilometre) area identified in the attached map included with your June 9 letter until Lubicon lands and claims, including resource management and harvesting rights, as well as fish, wildlife and environmental concerns, have been settled. I have forwarded a copy of your letter to Lubicon supporters advising them of our acknowledgment and acceptance and requesting that they bring the boycott of Daishowa paper products to an end.

As I indicated in my letter of May 25, 1998, the Lubicon people will welcome talks with Daishowa once Lubicon land rights and related resource issues have been settled. After these issues have been settled it may become possible for Daishowa to adjust the commitment made in your letter of May 20 as clarified in your letter of June 9. The Lubicons share your hope that settlement will enable us to work together on mutually advantageous economic development opportunities which take into account Lubicon wildlife and environmental concerns and responsibilities.

Sincerely,

Bernard Ominayak

Chief
